ALASKA Day 6

Alaska Day 6: Sunday, the Day of rest...Toby's 4th Birthday...the Summer Solstice in Alaska!

Yes, I know that Alaska has overtaken my blog...don't worry I will quickly finish the rest of the trip and get on with my blogging life before this baby gets here...

So, we went to church with Liz at the Skagway Branch. It is the first time I have ever been in such a small and compact church building. And it was built out of logs. Not to mention, it was very crowded with people! During the summer there are lots of visiting church-goers.

After dinner Liz made the most delicious dinner for us and she had a friend make some yummy s'mores cupcakes to celebrate Toby's birthday. Toby and Joshua loved them!
I promise Toby was thrilled with the cupcakes, even though he doesn't look happy. He often does not like being the center of attention.

After the celebrations, Liz took us on a 'short walk' to see this glacier:
cool

And finally, we went back to the church for the weekly Eat, Meet and Greet! It was fun to get to know some of the people who live up there! Joshua and Toby made great buddies with the kids in the Zalit family...and they invited us to come over the next night.

Whilst playing in the nursery with the other kids, Joshua found this crazy rubber ducky and wanted to take it home. We told him that he would have to settle for a picture:
Isn't that the craziest ducky you've ever seen?? It reminds me of the game "would you rather" that my friend Maria and I used to play when we were roommates in college. 'Would you rather have a beak for a nose/mouth, or wear fruit on your head all the time?'
