Whittier Picnic

Monday Morning Mom, Jessica, Autumn, Jamie, Emma, Isaac, Alysa and Jacob piled into two cars and headed out on a day trip to Whittier.

We stopped in Portage for a few minutes to see the water and kill some time before the tunnel opened. It was very windy and cold. My poor boys were in shorts and T-shirts since it was such a nice day. My Isaac didn't want to move, he was too cold. (You can see he

looks quite uncomfortable in this picture) So we got back in the car and let the kids climb around while we waited.

Once we got through the tunnel (which didn't seem so scary when I was driving) we found the waterfall that my mom wanted to come to. We walked up the short trail and found a spot to sit and have our picnic. Then the kids played around in the grass and trees and threw rocks in the water.

After we finished at the falls we went down and walked along the boardwalk and looked at the boats. Then we piled back in the cars and headed home. All the kids passed out on the ride back to Anchorage.

Later that night Jessica picked up some ice cream and we met at Kincaid park for a treat. The kids made a big mess. It was cute! Ice cream is always a good way to end a fun day.
