Fabulous Foto Friday

We have always been terrible at taking pictures and especially in doing anything with them. I don't know how many film rolls we have never developed (I just found about 9) and how many boxes that just hold random photos. Now with digital cameras and having kids we take a lot more pictures, but still never do much with them. I love looking at "old" pictures and so I have decided to each week post a picture from my stash of digital photos that

have never seen the light of day --

so come walk down my memory lane with me :)

Jer, J and Z (in the backpack) in front of Exit Glacier.

In August of 2004 we took a short trip to Alaska. Jer had worked on a neighbor's basement who worked for Delta Airlines. Payment for his hard work was a few buddy passes. Jer couldn't take much time away from work, but we really wanted to go to Alaska so we ended up taking a long weekend trip. Of course we invited my parents. My dad had lived in Alaska when he was a boy and we still have relatives that live there. We flew into Anchorage and drove down to Seward where my dad had lived. One of the places we went to was Exit Glacier in Kenai Fjords National Park -- so beautiful and enormous. It is an active glacier where you hike right up to the dense blue ice and can listen to it crackle. What a great experience and what a fun trip!! Exciting with a 6 month old, but so worth it. The sad part of the trip was not only that it wasn't very long, but Alaska was having horrible forest fires. The fires made the sky dark and smoky. So we will just have to go back and experience Alaska again :)

What a fabulous "foto" :) Come back next week for a new one!
