Juneau #10

Juneau was a rainy day, but we still had a blast! The kids made their own fun while waiting to get off the cruise ship...
We first checked out the Mendenhall Glacier and really enjoyed walking along the grounds there. Heather and Todd saw a momma bear and her 2 cubs, but the rest of us missed that. BUMMER! Check out Josh's image of Mendenhall Glacier.

We took the tram to the top of the mountain and hiked around...still in the rain. Luckily it stopped for a little while. The kids all had walking sticks and thought that was great!

Back on the ship, it was pirate night! Face painting, pirate hat coloring, treasure hunts, balloon swords...what could be more fun :)
Ashley's pirate face:
Grace loved getting her pirate face paint. Despite our repeated asking, Natalie was sure she did not want hers painted.
With their treasures from the night!

What could finish the night off better than with dancing! We went to a lounge where the littlest girls could dance a little. They captured everyone's attention because they were so adorable and because Grace has the most interesting dance style I have ever seen :) There are really no words to describe it! I caught Grace midair in this picture. Natalie was content just twirling around.


I needed to post this video up for my sister of Natalie and Grace dancing. Absolutely hilarious dancing. A little long, but at least take a peek for a minute. It is really funny!

I LOVE this post! Love the pirates and love the dancing especially. Thanks for posting the video, it's hilarious! Natalie is clearly going for a ballet influenced style where as Grace seems to be more hip-hop meets martial arts. The midair shot is great!
