Blackstone Kayaking

Another trip checked off the list...

Another trip was checked off of our "To Do in Alaska Before we Leave" list last weekend. We drove over to Whittier and rented some kayaks to explore Blackstone Bay. Its a beautiful bay that contains many glaciers including a couple that are tidewater glaciers.

Stay tuned for more amazing pictures from the trip! Gotta get going for now, but hopefully tomorrow!

Sushi Night!!!!

A while back, we had a great idea to make our own sushi! After a few failed attempts with instant rice (it never works! so don't even try!!!), we went to the store and bought the right ingredients....yummy!

Chris, showing off his masterpiece....

Mountain Biking Trip!

Last weekend, the Life Team decided to bike the trail from Glen Alps along Powerline Pass and all the way to Indian. It was quite the ride.

This was at the beginning, Ben decided it was time for a nap.

Lisa takin a break with Rennau

The top destination....Powerline Pass, or "the wall" is what I liked to call it :)

A lake in the back of the valley

Mountain Biking Trip contd

So at the back of Powerline Pass valley, we ran into quite the snowfield, only thing we could do was stomp through it! Rennau and Ben contemplating the best route...

Kevin's turn...

Check out the valley behind us we just rode through, pretty sweet eh?

The Life Team made it to the top of Powerline Pass! At this point though it started pouring rain....yippee :(

Biking Trip contd

After our ride, Kevin and Ben stayed in Indian to watch our friends play at a bar. They camped out along Turnagain Arm....here's a shot of the tide coming in, fast!

So fast that there was only seconds to take this picture of Kevin before the the rock was covered

The Alaska Railroad train roared on by

A shot of the moon reflecting in Turnagain Arm. Nice one huh? :)
