Fishin and Swimmin


I did some interesting things this week. First off the other day we decided to go fishing but we didn't have a pole or a license so we fished with out bare hands. We're right in the middle of the Salmon Run so there are a BUNCH of salmon in the Skagway River. Pretty sure me and Ali almost caught one too, it was huge and it wasn't afraid of us at all, I was like kicking it and it still wouldn't move haha, and no it wasn't dead. Then last night was Kendra's last night it Skagway so we went to dinner at Fish Co. then me and her decided we were gonna go swimming in the freezing cold ocean. So at about 9 o'clock we went for a dip. Yes it was freezing, I don't recommend it to anyone! It was a cool experience though, and now I can say that I swam in the  Pacific Ocean in Alaska!!





Ya, that was cold



Our legs are bright red from the frigid temperature of the river



I found a pile of rope which means a good photo op!



I decided I'd sing on the sidewalk for money.. all the tourists were walking by going back to their ships.... notice my camera case sitting next to my feet. Ya I didn't get any money




Here we are before we got in the water



Here i go...



I'm pretty proud of myself!






I am wondering why I just did that

Sepia Tone Loving

Yesterday we went to Yacatania Point and had a campfire. We made tinfoil dinners that turned out pretty good! We had fun taking pictures in black and white and sepia haha. It was Jenna's last night so we thought we should all do something fun. Kendra leaves this week so then there'll only be four of us left. We're gonna miss them!

Weekend in Juneau!




I had an awesome weekend. Me and Noah went to Juneau for a few days to hang out before he flew home to Indiana. We had a lot of fun exploring and goofin around. We took a 6 hour ferry ride there which was kinda long but it was cool! Then that night the company he works for had a free whale watching excursion so we got to go on that and see some whales. It was like a four hour long tour which was kinda long. The first couple hours were cool though haha. We did a lot of shopping there were some cool stores in Juneau, I found a couple antique shops which I was STOKED about!! The last day we went on a hike that was uphill the whole way and it kicked my butt but it was cool. At the top of the mountain is a restaurant and gift shop and a tram that takes you back down and that was way fun! Then this morning I took a way early flight back to Skaggy on a little 4 passenger plane, I got to sit up front and be co pilot so that was cool but pretty sure I fell asleep on the way haha I was sooo tired but ya it was an awesome trip and it was cool to get out of Skagway for a couple days but I'm glad I'm back! 




On the Ferry to Juneau
