Some pretty pictures and a funny story!


Here are some pictures from my recent travels! The one above and below are from the Portage Lake trip we went on. It was a really great day and I liked the iceberg cause if you look at it long enough it looks like a bird sitting on the ice--just proves how artistic mother nature truly is!

This is Curtis--we have been paralleling for awhile now--that means that we are on the same tour with two groups and just follow each other around. We are on our second 10 day tour and think we will be doing the next tour together as well--we are acting like an old married couple--it's been fun though. Just friends for those of you who may be wondering.

We are on the Yukon Queen boat coming from Dawson City to Eagle, Ak and saw a bear which doesn't normally happen so of course I took pictures of this cute and cuddly bear. He was swimming across the river (the Yukon) and when he went of the side a bit he stopped then pulled a fish out of a hole or something then carried it up the rest of the way.
This is 5 Finger rapids which is on the way from Whitehorse to Dawson City. It's a pretty great day so I decided to do my group pic there so meet one of my favorite groups.
Ok now for the FUNNY story...the first thing I thought was you know whats funnier then seeing someone fall is watching a fat person fall!!--so we got into the hotel in Fairbanks and I run inside to drop off my bags to get ready to hand out the key packets. I start to walk away from my bags and don't realize the that my bags strap is still wrapped around my ankle and I go down HARD!! I went down on my one knee then cont. to fall on my face. Luckily my guests didn't see me except for two of them and unfortunately everyone else in the lobby saw me including some of Curtis's group who all of course ran over to me asking how I was and I just said I was find and didn't want to talk about it!! LOL it was pretty funny not to mention so humiliating but hey what can you do. Anyway this is my knee--I iced it last night cause it was pretty swollen. Oh well there's my funny story of the day!
Alright well thats it for now--have a glorious day!

Dude Tessa I'm glad you can laugh about it because I would have been crying!!! But I get pretty embarrassed about those kinds of public humiliation situations. I'm glad to see that you're still alive up there and haven't gotten eaten by a bear or a crazed tourist or something...

Hi Tessa...I'm going to Blog Stalk you until you write me back;) You know how I told you we really want to go on a trip overseas, well we don't know if that is going to happen, but we maybe want to go on one of your tours!! We would love to see Alaska and if you're there next summer, maybe we could see you too! Sorry if I'm buggin' and you just want me to leave you alone, but I just think you're great:) Hope you're doing good and that your knee is recovering ok.

Oh YIKES!!! I totally fell in the Costco parking lot the other day. My ankle twisted into a huge pot hole and I could NOT catch myself. So down I went - all the way. This old man calls out from like 7 stalls away, "are you okay?" I'm like...yep...just fat and falling so laugh it up on the way home! I felt like the biggest idiot! I hate that!
