Glacier Bay

Glacier Bay was amazing, huge, breathtaking, awesome and magnificent! What else can be described by such beauty and awe! The glaciers were so big! We loved watching them calf with these huge chunks of ice coming off. Hayden and I watched from the inside, warmth and comfort, while Thomas headed up on the deck to take pictures in the freezing cold!
Thomas did come visit Hayden and I some when he got just too cold outside!

Amazing watching the glacier break off! I huge crackling sound!
We all loved this eagle perced on part of the broken off glacier!
Glaciers and beauty!
Hayden loved the books on all the mammals in Glacier Bay. We read about the different whales, birds, mammals and animals that were located there. He loved it!
Hayden was made a junior ranger and the rangers did all kinds of activities with the kids in the afternoon. It was a mini cub scout day! Lots of things to do and sign off. He loved that the rangers had to get on the cruise ship while it was moving, Indiana Jones style, they told him! He was in awe!
Yes, after a couple of hours watching the glaciers, he was done and moved on to playing his Nintendo DS. Cracked me up. I would get him to look if there was anything cool outside!
