Holmes ended up trying to find the biggest rocks on the beach to throw into the water.

Bouldering with Elliot! Holmes took the lead and kept going! That cool cousin Elliot factor, such a boost:)

What a fun idea to create a horizontal climbing obstacle course! (Thanks, Elliot.)

Chalk dusting, cleaning climbing holds, it’s a thing. Preserve the grip!

Drills and cherry pickers! What doesn’t this place have?

It was a GREAT trip! Who’s ready for routines and preschool and summer camp? We are!

Seattle!

At least that’s what we call it:)

Planetarium storytime at the Anchorage Museum! What a treat to walk into just as we arrived!

Ha! It was fun to see the remodeled museum and all the artwork I grew up visiting in new spots! (Though, I do miss the cultural life dioramas and plastic water rivers with salmon swimming in them.)

So much fun!

The Smithsonian is inside the Anchorage Museum! It is such a great exhibit. Gotta say, the screen features are way cool. Find an object on the wall and study it on the screen, twirl it around, zoom in, zoom out…snow goggles, kayaks, masks!
