Well It has been awhile since Ive posted up. Let me try to catch everyone up on our last month. We had a very exciting month. First Justin's Parents were here in Alaska for 2 weeks visiting with us. We did quite a bit of sightseeing. We went on a 1 day wildlife and glacier cruise, went to the reindeer farm, the bear and raven interactive theater, Daniel went fishing for the first time with Daddy and Pap-Pap, and we celebrated my Birthday at Simon and Seaforts. My Parents came into town the following day after Justin's left back for Florida and we spent a week with them here in Anchorage. We spent most of the week getting the kids ready for school, took a trip to Build-A-Bear, went to Simon and Seaforts again to celebrate my Birthday a second time and My Mom's since are Birthdays are a week apart, and Grandpa and Grandma took the kids to see the movie G-Force while Justin and I had some time to get some spring cleaning done. Then we were off for our vacation. We were very fortunate to be able to go on a 7 day Alaska cruise with My Dad and My Mom. This was probably one of the best cruises Ive ever had an opportunity to take. It is alot different then the caribean cruises Ive taken in the past. The scenery was beautiful even having lived in Alaska now for the last 7 years we saw sights we have never had the opportunity to see before. We saw orca and humpback whales, dolphins, seals, sea otters, got up very close to the Hubbard Glacier which is Alaska's largest glacier, Justin and My Dad got a chance to take a hellicopter trip on top of the Medenhall glacier in Juneau, Alaska and then walk and drink glacier water from the glacier. The kids enjoyed their week in the Adventure Ocean camp program on the ship. They had tons of fun activties each day from pajama and movie night, to space night, to dinosaur night, they had a cooking afternoon, and a superheros afternoon, Make your own monsters day, a princess tea party, and pirate night. They were kept busy throughout the whole week. Hailey also had a Little Princess evening where she was able to go to the spa on the ship and get a manicure/pedicure, her hair styled, and make-up put on. Justin did some rock climbing and played some pool on self blancing pool tables, My Dad and I entered the Dont Forget the Lyrics game, and name that tune. Justin and I won second place in the twist contest on 50's night and entered a crazy adult scavenger hunt called novel quest, and I think I visited every shop in all that ports that was giving away free stuff. The evening shows were excellent between the singers, dancers, and comedians, and the food was outta this world. I can go on and on about the trip. We all had the time of our lives and I definitly have to Thank my Parents for giving us the opportunity to go on a trip like this. After the ship docked in Vancover we were able to spend 3 days in Canada. Vancover is one of the most beautiful cities Ive ever visited. We spent the first full day in Stanley Park and the second taking an all day trolly tour which took us to Chinatown (one of the worlds largest), Gaston home of the steamclock, Grainville Street, and the lookout which is the tallest building where you go to the top and can see the whole city of Vancover. I took nearly 1500 pictures and cannot share them all I will post a few from the trip. For those of you on Facebook and Myspace I have lots more on there and still have some to put up. Our summer is about to come to an end. Daniel is very excited to be starting Kindergarden in just a few day and Hailey is excited as well for her second year of preschool to begin in a few weeks. We will talk to everyone soon.. The Williams Gang
