Alaska, part #1






OK, we planed a trip to Roy n Kathy's a year ago, wanting to take the boys to Alaska to papa's. Roy n Kathy have a great house in Palmer, on a lake.so the boys were soooo excited to get on a plane and fly to Alaska. watching the boys walk from the parking lot to the airport was priceless.they had a great time on the plane.
At Roy n Kathy's the meals were awesome. inside, or on the deck, bbq, or cooked, it was great.swimming was first on the bucket list. we all got in the lake first day, and had a blast.the boys swam every day.
Roy's Alaska tours first took us to kink glacier. killer air boat ride to the face of the glacier. the boat sported a big block chev injected. ear protection was manatory. it had plenty of hp. we saw Icebergs floating by and some moose hangin out. all the boys grabed hand size ice chunks from the river, and licked them. crystal clear they were. the glacier is massive, 6 miles wide an 20 miles long. if you look close you can see how it wraps around the mountain. like from Salem to Albany.
