After the painting extravaganza, I headed up to Alaska with my parents for a true adventure! It was such a blast!We were able to do so much and Alaska is truly incredible. Never have I seen such huge landscapes and such beautiful mountains. Yes, Alaska is part of the United States but it truly has it's own culture and is a very different experience up there.
This is my first time eating reindeer! It was really good actually with some kick but very filling!
The people are just not phased by the snow. Here is a man advertising on the corner of a street in a blizzard. Who cares that it's freezing out side and snowing like crazy? They don't!
We drove by the Anchorage temple. It was one of the smaller temples that I've ever seen but it was absolutely beautiful.
We went to a wildlife preservation and got to see all the wildlife of Alaska in one place. Granted it wasn't totally authentic but it was pretty darn cool! These moose were awesome!
Oh and here are some bald eagles just chilling.
This baby bear just came out of hibernation. I think he was a little upset that there was still so much snow on the ground and not as much food.
Mom and I had an experience on a dog sled.
This was my first exposure to ulu knives. I had no idea they existed. I guess they were knives that the natives used to skin the whales. They're circular and a handle on one end and cut things in a bowl as well as on a flat cutting board. It was neat to watch them make them too.
We perfected the art of a selfie while I was there!
These were glaciers that we visited. Rarely have I ever seen a mountain completely covered in snow from the cap down. They were gorgeous!
We visited Palmer, AK. Who knew that they grow some of the largest vegetables in the world! I never would have guessed that a frigid place such as Alaska, would be so fertile. They explained to us that it is because of how much sunlight they get in the summer.
