Last week I went on an Alaskan cruise with my Grammy, Grandaddy, Aunt Rachel, Uncle Brian, my cousin Carlton and my Mommy and Daddy. We did lots of fun things.
One of my favorite things was visiting Club HAL. Club HAL is a children's program on the ship. We had different themes every night. For example, we had Spy Night, Survivor Night, Un-birthday Night and lots more. My favorite theme was Spy Night - I liked it because we had to work together to figure out how to do the activities. Carlton came with me on some nights. We played Wii Just Dance and you could also go during the day when we played lots of games.
On the ship, there were two pools. One was outside and the one I swam in can be in or outside. It had a roof that the ship could open when the weather was sunny, which it was two days during the trip. There were lots of kids at the pool and I made a few good friends.
My friends' names are Lian, who is from Seattle, and Audrey, who lives in Chicago. We were jumping into the water in funny ways. Lucky for me, I got their phone numbers at home so I can call them. We ate lots of ice cream when we weren't swimming. I let Audrey borrow one of my bathing suits on the last day to swim because she had lost hers the day before.
The most amazing thing about our trip was the dog sledding. We got on a helicopter (I sat right next to the pilot) and flew over the mountains to the Mendenhall Glacier. It was so pretty looking down on the mountains. Once we landed on the glacier, we met the dogs and our musher and got to ride on the sled. I was the first one to be on the back to help steer. After we took our ride, I got to hold a husky puppy who was four weeks old - she was so cute and her name was Robin. I wanted to bring her back home but the musher said they count the puppies before everyone leaves.
When we stopped in Sitka, in Alaska, my Mommy, Daddy and I walked through a rainforest park to the Raptor Center. We saw lots of big birds including owls and bald eagles - we didn't go too far down the nature path in the center because the sign said that bears might be there.
It took a long time to get back home on Saturday, and when we got to the airport, our luggage wasn't there. We are hoping that it comes today because presents we bought for people are in our suitcases - I was lucky that I carried Bear on the plane so he is just fine here with me.
Tonight Mommy and I are going to the American Idol concert in Durham. We will get to see the top 15 finalists perform; I can't wait to see the last two, who were my favorites - there names are Jena and Caleb.
Caleb won but Jena is very good too.
Tomorrow is my first day of horse camp near Grandmother's house - talk to you later with an update!
