Ferry Photos part 2

Sorry for the delay in posting again its been a busy week. Izzak and I have enrolled in a homeschool gymnastics class and when they found out that I was a gymnist (and pretty good) they enlisted me as another teacher for the class so I am going through their book to figure things out for teaching. I should be able to lose some weight this way 2 days a week for 2 hours each! I'm actually pretty excited about it and Izzak can use the workout as well.

Anyway on to day 2 of the trip. Oh and some asked how long the ferry ride is. It's 37 hours you get on the first day at 6 pm and have a full day on the second and get off the ferry at 7 am on the 3rd day.

On the second day we woke up to some rougher waters as the biggest portion of the trip that runs in open ocean goes through Queen Victoria Sound which is about 4 hours long and very rocky even in nice weather. Not so sure how I feel about going through when the weathers bad! It was interesting trying to walk around the boat since it rocked so much. We went up to eat and Kenzie and Kelly's problem with motion sickness got the best of them so they took some dramamin and went back to the cabin and slept half the day away. The boys and I were okay so we walked around and enjoyed the views outside. It was also very windy outside and the boys thought it was fun to stand in the wind see photo below.....

Here is a view from the front of the boat when we were almost out of the sound.....

Here is a video from the front of the boat. Notice how noisy it is from the wind. Sorry about the shakiness of it also I was trying hard to stand still but you can kind of get an idea of how much the boat was rocking and it was a pretty big boat so it had to be pretty rough.

Here is a picture of what it looks like as we were comming out of the sound. After that we are in the what is called the Narrows basically we are in between islands the whole time partly through Canadian water until we get into Alaskan waters. It was interesting to watch as sometimes we were headed in the direction of islands until they make sharp turns to go through the Narrows between them. It's gorgeous area and I took over 150 pictures but can't share them all!



While you are on the ferry during the summer hours they have a person from the forestry department who does talks and shows during the day to teach you about the area and animals in the area. Kenzie, Kelly and Madison where sleeping during this part of the day and the boys and I decided to go to the talk for kids about Eagles. One of the things they did was use one of the kids and dress them up in different things to signify parts of an eagle. Izzak got chosen to do it and we had a lot of fun. He wore a pair of boxers to portray the down feathers a clear poncho for the waterproof feathers. Well just check out the pictures and you get the idea. It was pretty funny and I took a lot of pictures of this as well!

Obviously she was enjoying it as well. Izzak was being a pretty good assistant for her and was making a lot of jokes which helped her laugh at him quite a bit as well.

Here is a close up of what was on his head. Notice he insisted on wearing his baseball cap the whole time.... funny kid.

Here is another picture from part of the Narrows on the Cananadian side for you Canadians out there. It is called Pilot House. Yes this is one home and a family actually lives there. There is nothing around here so you wonder how they get anything for themselves.

Also during this day Izzak spotted a whale and was really excited he pointed it out to other crew on the ferry and they announced it over the loud speaker that he had noticed it and where it was. Of course I wasn't very quick with my camera so you can't really see it. I need a camera with more zoom on it for the next trip!

And last I will leave you with a few more pics from our second day....
