America’s Birthday

Today is the 4th of July, we went to Glacier View, AK. We had a awesome lunch and watched cars launching from a cliff. It was awesome! We also got our face painted. I, Jadon, painted a giant American flag on my face. I, Keanan, painted a small American flag on my cheek. I also had fun throwing rocks into the water. We a rolled a tire down a gravel mound. We also did a 1mile fun run.

I, Keanan, also had fun dropping rocks into tires with an excavator. They called it the metal rodeo.  

We also had fun throwing rocks at sticks rushing down the river. There was a zip line.

Keanan & Kyla came for a visit. We went to a glacier. We didn’t get to go on the glacier, but on the lake. With lots of sand fleas. We hiked to the glacier. It was a hard hike with lots of mud and we had to cross a trail river. They had a slug bug that was their car. Sometimes the girls went in WASSABE and the boys went in the slug bug. 

We loved hanging out with the Vawter’s. 

Mom had a birthday when the Vawter’s were here. 

We just loved having the Vawter’s here.
We went to the hand tram. The Daddy’s had to haul us over. 

We went to a museum and had lunch at a restaurant. We also saw the float planes while eating dinner. We saw an airplane on the grass by the restaurant. Keanan tried to turn the propellers. He almost did it.

We just had our friends the Vawters come from CA to visit us in AK. We had a really fun time playing and exploring AK. We saw cars fly off a cliff on Fourth of July. I also ran a race. But I did not win but it was really fun. I really liked seeing a glacier which is call Portage Glacier it was really pretty and there is a lake in front of the glacier. We went to Hatcher pass and looked at a lot of old gold mines. I think that one of my favorite things that we did with the Vawters, was seeing a bear ? on the side of the road. It was a grizzly bear we thought we saw three bears. During the Vawter’s visit we also saw lots of moose.
