Alaska Still Amazes Me!

We been in Alaska for almost two years now, and I am still amazed at the beauty of this place.  God is so creative!  It was a beautiful day, so after dinner we decided to take advantage of it.  We went to the beach here in Anchorage.  It is a little hike to get to the beach.  Luke carried Jackson in the hiking pack and I carried Brady in the Moby.  The boys did great!  Only in Alaska will you see a moose and bear scat on the way to the beach.  Then we saw some salmon running and a few seals while we were at the beach.  

What's even crazier about the salmon and seal is that I was at the same beach Tuesday morning and the tide was out so far you could barely even see the water.  It was all just mud flats.  There were bald eagles hanging out in the mud.  The tides in the Cook Inlet are very extreme, the hour we were there they came in at least ten feet if not more!

Here are some pictures:



You could see some silvers (salmon) running through right here.


You can always see an airplane in the sky in Alaska.



The seal poking its head out of the water.


I love these last two pictures!
