Monday, July 1, 2013. Days 1 and 2: Yakatut Bay and Glacier Bay. We made it onto our cruise ship! For the next week we had gorgeous views like this to look at, on both sides of the ship. We embarked on June 8 and the cruise took 7 days, from Whittier, Alaska to Vancouver, Canada. Dressed up and ready for our first dinner! I'm a big fan of pretty sunsets. The next day we had all kinds of fun activities to do on board the ship. It was technically a "Day at Sea," but we were sailing along through Yakatu...

Nelson Family: November 2012
http://idahonelsons.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Tuesday, November 27, 2012. I know it seems like we dropped off the face of the planet this month. But really I just haven't been able to add pictures to our blog. And what fun is a blog with no pictures? I must have pictures! In the meantime, November did happen! Some highlights that I would have blogged about:. My birthday. Yay! I'm older now. (Imagine me sitting in front of a cake, smiling.). Baby Josh can walk now! It took him 14 months and boy is he excited to get around. Tuesday, November 13, 2012.

Nelson Family: Anchorage, Alaska!
http://idahonelsons.blogspot.com/2013/06/anchorage-alaska.html
Tuesday, June 25, 2013. We finally made it! When Ben's mom picked us up at the airport (thank you! We were greeted soon after by her friend, a Native Alaskan. Ben told me we weren't going to see any igloos or Eskimos on our trip, so I jumped all over my chance to speak to a native. She humored me with a little U'pik:. Next, Ben's stepdad Ed drove us to see his daughter Rebecca. Holy Big Dog! His foot is longer than mine! Who doesn't love a super huge chocolate fountain? After dinner Cathy drove us up abo...

Nelson Family: February 2013
http://idahonelsons.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 21, 2013. Jonathan was pretty excited to pull out the goggles and get to work with his hammer and chisel. The brick was pretty strong so he had to chip away a little at a time, looking for the promised dinosaur bones. Finally he struck plastic and we were thrilled to discover that there really was something in there. (We were starting to wonder.). He kept hammering and dusting and hammering some more. Halfway through the brick we had to call a time-out and go to bed. I've noticed thoug...

Nelson Family: December 2012
http://idahonelsons.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. PS Don't Forget These. This is one of my favorite pictures. I don't think I ever posted it. So just in case you didn't get enough of us in 2012, here's a recap of things you DIDN'T see on the Nelson Family Blog this past year. Most of them are just fun, around-the-house pictures. Time to wrap things up, one per month:. January - That baby. He's so tiny. Why do my babies keep growing up? March - Our kids beg to run on the treadmill. We do have toys, I promise. Especially when it...

Nelson Family: September 2012
http://idahonelsons.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 27, 2012. As promised, Nicole is ready to teach us how to make her prize-winning tutu. Here goes! Pick out two spools of tulle (pronounced "tool") in any color combination. We found them on the bottom shelf at Walmart. If you know Nicole and I, deciding the color was the hardest part. Does this make it a "Two-Spool Tulle Tutu Tutorial"? Hold the loop with one hand and reach through it with the other hand. Grab the two ends of the tulle. Then pull them back through, toward you. Now rep...

Nelson Family: April 2012

Tuesday, April 24, 2012. Let's Go Fly a Kite! There's no better way to celebrate spring breezes than by flying kites! This was Greg's first time and he was a natural. He stood there for along time, just watching his kite with a big smile on his face. The perspective of a 3-year-old. After a very long time, Greg decided he was tired and gave Zach a turn. The clouds are really cool in this picture. I always like close-ups of Zach. Is he a good-looking kid or what? Wow, look at those clouds! They added the ...
