Whew...what a week!!! It has been a crazy busy week & I just didn't have time to play along on the OCL Challenge that is starting today. BUT...go take a look at the fun challenge today over on the OCL Blog. I'm hoping to get a project done this weekend for the challenge so I can play too.
So for today, I wanted to show you the final pages of Book #1 (of 2) for our Alaska Pre-Cruise vacation. Today's pages show our adventures on the tour boat in Resurrection Bay (in Seward, Alaska). I have to say, {and you'll see by the photos}... the day was PERFECT! Gorgeous blue sky, sunshine and wildlife sightings like CRAZY! This day ranked as one of our TOP 3 favorites in Alaska {maybe even from both trips}.
We boarded a tour boat early in the morning and we were delighted that our group of about 15 people was the only group that day ~ WOOHOOO! It was like a private tour! We could get up and go anywhere on the boat without worrying we might be in the way of someone else. It was rather cool on deck; however, the views were SPECTACULAR! The captain of our boat, handed out Wildlife Guides so we could identify animals while on the trip. I wanted to be able to look at it again, so I made a photo pocket to keep it tucked in for our album. I also purchased a few postcards of the area we visited for my album.

Another exciting thing about today was that we saw our ship for the first time since our arrival to Alaska ~ M.S. Radiance of the Seas. We would board her later that day...
I didn't do much to this page because I wanted to include the fabulous shots of the kids and of the sea otters. NOTE: these pictures weren't taken with any zoom features on our cameras. YES, the otters were THAT CLOSE! They just swam along side for quite some time ~ it was great!
I'm sure you can see why I said this was "our favorite day so far"!!!
We saw many bald eagles & some were even nesting (top center), humpback whale, and sea lions ...lots and lots of sea lions. We also saw a dozen Dall sheep {with babies} and puffins ~ oh so sweet.
Not only did we have great views of the wildlife, but the scenery was AMAZING!
Everything was just CRYSTAL CLEAR that day!
Once again for my pages, I used the Destinations Kit from Simple Stories & stamps from Unity, Technique Tuesday & Hero Arts.
I love it, Kendra!! beautiful pictures! :)
