Cruise to Alaska, Day 6

And on the sixth day we went to Ketchikan.  Bryce could have been Alaskan, he fit right in.

He wanted to pose in front of the ship, he liked that the characters were repainting.

An awesome little town to take a break from a ship.

Bryce and I went shopping for pirate pajamas and sunglasses.

There is our room aboard the Disney Wonder.  We had a nice view of the ship from Ketchikan.

Bryce was looking good in his Spiderman shades.

Even Santa thought so.  It is Christmas all year here.

Bryce and I went to see the Great Alaskan Lumberjack Show.

You don't see trees this size just anywhere.  I know.  (We went on a wagon ride at Robber's Cave in OK 10 years ago.  As part of our tour we saw the largest diameter tree in the state.  I still remember thinking, it was pathetic.  My Northwestern upbringing taught me they should not be bragging.)

These were championship caliber lumberjacks,

capable of sawing a log

or climbing a pole

or rolling a log

or sporting the plaid flannel shirt.  I think I recognized all of them from Oregon.

Meanwhile, Emily and Lonny went zip lining through the trees.

Before

and after.

They had fun and nobody died.

So we get back on the ship and Bryce decides he wants to go on the slide.  The slide he said he would never ever go down.  He slid down, jumped off, ran around and up the stairs again and repeated this procedure at least 25 times.

We stopped counting eventually.  Here he is at the top.

It took awhile but he finally had had enough.  He needed his sunglasses and a towel to warm up.

Then he was ready to eat.

This photo captures this cruise well.  Bryce is eating ice cream and the little girl in the background is wearing a bikini because we are next to a swimming pool.  Everyone else is dressed appropriately for the weather.

Even Mickey looks like he could saw a log in the rain.

We decided to get some more photos taken because we could.

Emily's hair looks like she may have been running around a ship from morning until night

for six days straight.

 

This photo took more work then it appears.

Everyone thought Emily and Bryce were sister and brother and we finally stopped explaining.  If they wanted to think Lonny and I had a five year old then whatever.

One last formal pose with Donald and Daisy.
