Angel Rocks

We know that our time is running short here is Alaska so we jumped in the car and drove to a popular hiking trail for a quick camping and hiking trip.

Since we are slowly getting darkness back during the night, it was fun to have a campfire (even though it still doesn't get dark til close to midnight!) Campfires are essential because without them you couldn't make....
Smores. Though I don't like marshmallow nor the combination of chocolate and graham crackers. Smores are delicious. Caleb makes them look wonderful.




Down by the Chena River. The day was chilly and rainy.

Climbing the Angel Rocks. They were fun to climb around on. I had to look away a few times so that my mother heart wouldn't panic. I know they are supposed to have fun and be adventurous, but sometimes I have to look away and pretend they are not doing something dangerous!

Hiking with Daddy. He is the best.



Nick enjoyed the climbing and liked the adventure of it. He didn't make me nervous because he was cautious.

Caleb pretended to fall like Indiana Jones would. That boy scares me sometimes. He climbed to some spots that actually started to scare him. Curtis had to climb up and save him. It was too much to watch. He needs to learn some fear!

Jake understands fear and would rather stay on the easier climbs...which is alright by me.


Another great adventure...even if Megan is mad that she had to stand in the cave!

Soo much fun and how beautiful. Glad you were able to experience Alaska in the summer before you head oversea!
