Well, I didn't make it up the river to moose hunt. The morning I was to leave I bent over to pick up my belt up off the floor and my back went out...way out. I was down for this past week. Can't climb a tree to look for moose if you can't walk to the tree in the first place. Yea, I was bumbed. Although I was planning to be gone most of the week it was still quite frustrating just to have to sit (or lay) around when so much needs to be done. I know, I would have been gone anyways. But since I wasn't "up the river" all the stuff that needs doing just laughed at me while I stared at it meanly. Okay, a little to dramatic. I'm feeling much better now.

This past Sunday we were invited to take a jet boat tour up to LaConte Glacier, at no charge to us. The pictures below are some of the better ones. Hope you enjoy them.

Don't forget to continue to pray for us and the Warricks. We are holding down the fort while the Shoultz' are getting there daughter married off. She, her name is Mindy, has a severe case of kidney stones. The wedding is this Saturday and the dr's think she will be fine. She has had one surgery (yesterday) and will need another very shortly after the honeymoon. Nathan Gall, her fiance' could also stand being lifted up to the Lord. His nerves are a little fried too. Pray for Doug and Nedra.

Pray for John and Jody (and Christy and Jonathan) while they travel, while Jody takes care of her mom. You can visit their website at www.warrickstoalaska.com.

Okay, here are the pics:

The grooves were formed by water flowing over the surface of the ice.

These are harbor seals. Just too cute or what?!

Ah, the cute couple!

This is an upclose of some glacier ice. It is translucient and jewel-like. Just awesome.

If these guys were from New York they would be asking, "You lookin' at me?"
