 So we went to Lake Louise and found an Indian chief standing on the wharf. ( If  was six I would have called it an Indian Hankerchief HE HE ) and had a photo with him.
 This is a photo of me and Mum (And a whole lot of other tourist) on the Lake Louise water, river thing what ever it is.
 This is an Animal bridge crossing where the animals can cross the road safely without getting killed!! there's grass and trees all over it.
 And then we ran in to a Grizzly bear walking the side walk. He was so close to us and had to slam the breaks so we didn't hit him.!.!
 Loo at this little cutie. We don't know what it is but its the toutest ( cutest ) little thing I have seen!!

Lakes, canyons, falls and the cutest thing ever

 This is the Maligne lake cruise. You dont get a view like this in New Zealand


Maligne Canyon is where water has calved a narrow slit through the rock. The water was fast and it was really cool to look deep down




Here I am being really silly with a snowball on my head. This was after we walked to a lake through falling snow




This was the lake we walked too. It was very very blue and dont you think it looks like a dog.


This is the Athabasca Falls. They roared

Aww and heres my favourite - another 2 bear cubs. Lots younger than the ones we saw in Alaska and so so cute. I just wanted to cuddle them.





In the snow

 This is me and Dad standing by a super big snow coach on the Athabasca Glacier!!
 This is me and Dad standing on he boundary of the safe part of the Glacier with the Canada flag behind us!!
 This is me and Mum standing in front of a snow coach. These things are huge. The wheels of the coach were just about as big as me!!
 And this is the sky walk. I don't know how my Dad walked on that, He is super scared of heights, And this thing was hanging of a cliff face. Even the floor was glass!!
 This is me And mum on the sky walk. It was so high!!
 And this one is me and Mum on the sky walk again. Now you can see how high it really was!!
 And this is me attempting to eat some snow. After his my gloves were super wet and I went to put them on today to make my hands warm but they made them colder!!
And when we were going to our hotel room This ginormous Black bear was crossing the road. Mum was like "JON STOP THE CAR THERE'S SOMETHING CROSSING THE ROAD!!!" and Dad slammed on the break and made me hit the set in front of me!! And then we saw a black bear just crossing the road. We have now see 2 bears and 1 Elk (Deer) crossing the road. In total i have seen 13 adult bears, 4 bear cubs up TREE'S and 3 Elk ( Dear). we are so lucky.

TO CANADA THRU THE NORTH CASCADES


 Rendered Image
Today we went to a lot of lovely rivers and water falls.
First we went to a suspension bridge to get to a really cold water fall that was fed by snow melt.
It was super high and there was so much water falling down. it was incredible.
My favourite spot was the road that was closed because of a super thick blanket of snow. Me and Dad had a snowball fight and Snow-Ball ( Base Ball with snow and a small log to hold). It was funny when Dad climbed a little snow hill and said "I need to be careful and look for the crevasses, I wouldn't want to fall 100 Meters." Even thou the hill wasn't a Glacier. it was snow about 3 Feet (Half a meter).
And then Dad got muddled up and started to drive on the Left hand side of the road when we are in a Right hand country, It was lucky that we were on a quiet road and no other cars were coming other wise that would have been a disaster.
That's my day for you.!.!.

Ketchikan - Alaska


Today my Mum got Food Poisoning after eating some fish, so it was a Hannah Daddy day!!!
We Went to Ketchikan for  one of our ports and went on a Helicopter.

On the way to the meadow We saw some Mountain Goats on the top of a VERY BIG Mountain sleeping in the snow and as soon as they heard the Helicopter They all ran away!!
Here is a photo of me and Dad on a very big log inn the meadow with the helicopter in the background!!
And then we just casually landed the helicopter in the river. The pilot told up that "people say the want to go on a helicopter but the want to lane on the water so we will go on a float plain, Well watch this" and landed it in the river. SUPER COOL!!!
This is the oldest town in Alaska, Probably 150 years old. They have put gift shops in the houses now But I think they should make them houses that you can live in.!.!
This is a photo of me standing in the Town Of Creak Street!!
(the oldest town)
the Carnival Cruise boats make towel animals for you every nigh. Our Cleaner I GEDE (GEDE) is amazing at making them. This is one of the eight he made!!
Full Moons In Alaska
SO COOL!!!!



  



Skagway - Alaska



So just to prove we really did go to Alaska, here we are by the official sign and also me by the sign into the Yukon which is in Canada.

So in Skagway we went on a bus and train trip over a mountain pass called White Pass - probably because of the snow. We ended up at a place called Caribou Crossing in the Yukon for lunch - in a covered wagon - but there were too many very big mozzies I didnt find it much fun and left Mum and dad to it. They bought me a ice cream later on.


But I did love the Alsakan Husky puppy dogs which I was able to have a cuddle with - yippee.



There were also 3 grown dogs that had been retired from mushing - which is dogs pulling sleds over the snow - and I was able to pet them and feed them treats. They were lovely too.

But wow wow wow they best and most exciting thing we saw were black bears - just on the side of the road.



This is 2 bear cubs up a tree and mama bear was having a sleep at the bottom



How cute is that. I never thought I would see a baby bear up a tree.


And this is the cool old train we had a ride on back from the summit into town


Here it is coming out of a tunnel and crossing over a trestle bridge



This is Skagway 



And this is Mum and me after a fantastic day out heading back to our cruise ship
