My mommy keeps yelling at me to hurry up and finish... and it's sooooo like me to wait till the last second... I get that from my daddy! haha.

Well I've just been thinking A LOT about school... and OMG I'M GONNA BE IN HIGHSCHOOl!! Can u believe it??? It's soooooooooooo exciting!! but scarry too! Well I've slowly been preparing my "To do before school starts list" There seems like there is so much to do and not enough time! So I better start working faster!!! haha.

HOME!

So we're home from Alaska. It was def. a fun trip! and turned out to be a lot more fun than I thought it would be. we had a TON of fun! So here are some pics!!!



Here we are at the North Pole. Just to clear things up, it's not the ACTUALLY north pole, but a town in Alaska called North Pole. It's pretty cool. The building we are standing infront of is actually Santa Claus' house.



And there's Santa!!



And his reindeer!



We also went to this Gold Mine! It was really fun.



We got to pan for our own gold!!!



Mommy,keiko and Junko found about 9 bucks worth of gold. Me and daddy found 15 dollars of gold. Yuko and my uncle and aunt found 21dollars. My grandpa beat us all with 40 bucks worth.



There's my aunt, uncle, and Keiko, looking for Gold.



This is the Ice Museum! It was so cool! the freezers these ice sculptures are in are kept at 20 degrees. It was sooo cold but so awsome to see these sculputres.







PENGUINS!!!!!













Here are some pictures of us at Chena Hotsprings!!







So over all our vacation was sooooo fun!!! I highly recommend it!!! But you def. can't go to Alaska without building your own totem pole!!! HAHA

And we're off!

Tomorrow's the day!! We're leaving for Alaska! I think we are all SOOOO excited! Just so everyone knows we aren't crazy, I know Alaska isn't exactly everyone's idea of the perfect vacation spot, but we're going to visit my grandparents! I'm so happy that we get to see them, and excited that I get to check off another state on my quest to visit every state!

We still have a TON to do... I don't think anyone is packed...I have no idea what I'm going to wear! AHHH! I am NOT looking forward to the plain ride!! I HATE palins A LOT!!! I would so rather drive to Alaska, car rides are SOOOO much better than plains.

Ok well I have to go pack!!! I CAN'T WAIT!!!

Oh yeah!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIE!!! xoxo
