All Aboard!

Last weekend I booked a trip to Denali National Park on the Alaska Railroad. My friends Joanna (plus her Mom) and Erin joined me for a long day of riding and hiking! Altogether we had twelve kids ranging from the ages of 11 months to 12 years old.
We packed a picnic lunch and decided to hike a 3 mile route out to a small lake and back. There was a giant sign at the base of the trail, warning that grizzlies had been spotted in the area in the past. Ava freaked. I calmed her down, assuring her that there were way too many of us and surely we would scare them off the trail. I was fairly confident in my tale, until we found bear POO in the middle of the trail. Thankfully, we only saw one bear....safely from the moving train!




Yes, that's the bears potty break. :-/



There was still snow under this little foot bridge.



All the kids, after the trip. (minus Beckett!).
