flying

 We went on a flight seeing tour a couple weekends ago around Denali. Unfortunately it was super cloudy and rainy so we weren't able to see all that much, but what we did see was beautiful. I have never been on a small plane like this before and  i was a little nervous, but we survived and had a lot of fun.

The pilot told us that she would be fine to get out of the carseat after take off if she cried. She sure cried. :) We let her out and all she wanted to do was stand in front of the carseat and play with the buckles. Whatever keeps her quiet right :)

 There were huge glaciers under us the whole time we were flying. They were mostly covered in dirt and rocks, but every now and again there would be patches of this bright blue water(above) or really cool ice designs (below).

 It's fall in Alaska-the colors have started changing!

 The last few minutes of the flight were rough. Aubree starting screaming out of the blue. It took me a minute to realize what was wrong-her ears were hurting her. Poor girl. Once we landed she was back to her happy self.  I can now cross "fly in a small plane over alaska" off of my "to-do" list-not sure it was on there in the first place, but i'll add it on and cross it off now.
