Daddy time!

I can't believe it is already Friday!!! We have enjoyed spending time with daddy so much! We have went on lots of hikes, took some naps and just really enjoyed spending time together. We have been doing some research on salmon fishing and buying the fishing gear we will need. My parents will be here in just over a week and we are getting ready for salmon fishing. 

Whale watching is something we have wanted to do for a while so we booked us a trip for Wednesday. The drive down to Seward is so beautiful.

We arrived to Seward pretty early so we found a little park for the kids to play for a while. They were glad to get out of the car and stretch their legs. 

We couldn't wait to get on our boat.

Once on the boat they went over the rules and a few safety guidelines then we were off. Rite off the bat we seen otters floating along the rocks. One otter had a little baby floating on its belly, it was super cute! We stopped for a while and watched 3 humpback whales feeding. It was pretty neat being so close we could hear them blow.

The whales were awesome to watch. We soon left them to go find more animals. We watched some sea lions climbing on some rocks. Lexie didn't really like there loud deep noises they made.

  Next we watched all different kinds of birds that were nesting on the cliffs.

Eagles would swoop down and thousands of birds would disperse in all different directions. We even seen some cute little puffins. I think they were my favorite birds to watch. Some other animals we watched were coastal mountain goats. It was so amazing watching them jump around the cliffs. It really is amazing how they can maneuver all around the steep cliffs. 

We had an awesome day. Lexie didn't quite make the whole 4 hour trip awake. The slight rocking of the boat was enough to rock her rite to sleep. I am looking forward to doing another whale watching tour. I really want to see some orcas!! They are my favorite!

Yesterday, i got a chance to pamper myself a little. my hair is getting longer and i have been wanting to add a little color but not wanting anything that would require any upkeep. It had been almost 1 year since my last hair appointment. I added some streaks of red to the underneath and got my bangs trimmed up some. Lexie really likes the color is Mommy's hair and I think I do too. Just enough change, but nothing drastic.

We also looked at a house for the second time yesterday.We even had a contractor look at it with us. The house has a few unfinished parts that would need to be finished after we bought it. The house is at a great price. We just want to make sure we have plenty of money and know what we are getting ourselves into before we make a decision on the house. I am anxious to see what the contractor says. 

It stinks when daddy has to be out of town but we love when he gets home and has the whole week off. We love exploring Alaska! It is so big and offers so much for outdoor enthusiast like us. God's handy work is really magnified here in Alaska.
