So pooped after our walk around anchorage!




The guys went fishing! This is a rock fish, the eyes bulge and the stomach pops out of the mouth from the pressure of being pulled up from the bottom of the ocean. Gross, huh!?




Fresh shrimp anyone!? Yes, please!!




Ahh

Teddy Bear Clinic

Olive had a blast at the teddy bear clinic today! She is normally a bit timid of mascots, but she loved this girl in the bear suit, she wanted nothing but hugs, knuckles and high fives from her!


Miss Ela rock climbing!! Great job Ela!!


Time for a snack!! Taking care of "bear" is hard work!





Now for a little face painting!

Definitely will go again next year! Thanks Korthuis family for inviting us!
