Canada Trip Sept 2012

We had an amazing time on our vacation to see Grandma and Papa Mac in Canada! We took over 600 pictures and these are just a "few" that I settled on for the blog: ;)

 on the boat, going down channel for two whole days!

 our shrimp pots. Papa Mac and Daddy dropped down 

over 300 ft. We left them for the whole days we were down

channel. Cross your fingers we get lots of shrimp!!

 being silly

 Making faces

 campfire

 this way to the restroom

 this was the deluxe bathroom! 

 cove where Mommy caught her salmon

 Mommy's salmon! Yay Mommy!!!

 Grandma Mac scooped the salmon up with the fish net just 

in time! The fishing line broke and we would've lost it.

 taking a nap on the boat

pulling up shrimp pots, there's lots of shrimp in them!

 They're huge!!

 silly Daddy! You have to cook them first!

 baby lobster, we threw him back

bucket o' shrimp

 Mommy and Daddy by Lake Meziadin on our way to Alaska

 first bear we saw, he was such a skinny guy

 the whole fam by Bear Glacier. On the road to Stewart BC

and Hyder AK

 Bear Glacier

 we made it to Hyder and Papa Mac is taking me over to the

Glacier Inn to get Hyderized! 

 Just kidding! Only Daddy and Papa Mac got Hyderized.

 Getting Hyderized is taking a shot of Everclear........

and keeping it down!

then you get to have your picture taken!

at the Glacier Inn you're supposed to put your name on 

$$ and put it on the wall. Then if you ever find yourself broke 

and in Hyder again, you'll always have $$. There was $$ here from 

the early 1900's. Pretty cool huh?

 Salmon Glacier. Its the 5th largest glacier in North America

 It was pretty huge. The picture above is what you see

going down from the left on this pic.

Yay! I made it to the top!!!

Daddy had to climb this platform

 One of the many beautiful waterfalls

 Fish Creek, lots of bears come here to eat the spawning salmon.
This was a Mama and her little cub, too cute. Dangerous but cute!

 sorry Daddy but this was the only moose we saw in Canada!
