Kodiak Day

August 14, 2017

I had a really fun day in Kodiak. We woke up really early in the morning and got on the airplane to Kodiak. We climbed Mt. Barometer that was really hard. Mommy and Rahab made it most of the way up but Jadon, me and Daddy made it all the way to the top of the mountain. It was four miles round trip with a gain of 2500ft. In some parts we wanted to turn around but we kept going to the top of the mountain. It was a really nice day so we could see every thing there was not a cloud in the sky. It was really fun. Then we went to Fort Abercrombie. The fort was from World War Two when the Japanese tried to take Alaska from America but the fort was never needed. I got to go in all the bunkers and we were right next to the ocean and I spotted some whales. Then we went home on an airplane.

We went to Kodiak and hike Mt Barometer. It was a really steep hike and fun. Esther, Daddy, and I made it to the top. It was really hard and exciting! Mt Barometer was the tallest mountain on the island. I could see the whole island from the top. I saw lots of airplanes taking off from the airport.

   Then we drove to Fort Abercrombie. It was really fun. There is some war bunkers there. One was a museum. We could call each other on the old phones. They really rang! We also saw some humpback whales.

We climbed Mount Barometer in Kodiak, AK. Daddy had to help me on the steep parts. The airport was a good view. We saw some boats and airplanes land and take off. We loved the pretty flowers. I saw pink, purple, blue, and yellow pretty flowers. Mommy and I sat on swishy moss. While Jadon, Esther and Daddy climbed to the top. We stayed behind because I was too tired and the trail was too steep. It was super nice there, not even a drop of rain.
