 |
| crossing the bridge |
 |
| at the parking lot |
 |
| on our way to the glacier...started out with the stroller. soon decided to leave it on the wayside until we got back... |
 |
| they moved these little walking slats around to accommodate the streams... |
 |
| the glacier was covered in dirt and rocks |
 |

 |
| water was coming out of the sand |
 |

 |
| VERY sharp ice, it takes 10 feet of snow to make 1 ft of glacier ice, andrew fell and got scraped up very bad. |
 |
| getting a drink. it was the best water EVER... |
 |
| a little glacier stream running down the glacier |

 |
| notice the cool fish behind them, they let the local schools decorate different things in the park, kinda cool. |
 |

 |
| wee! terrance helping abby go down the slide |
 |
| my fav one of emma and abby |
 |
| at the Soldotna Park, it was really fun! |
So this is when we went to the Matanuska Glacier, its privately owned, because some people who had homesteaded the land many years ago included it in their property. its awesome! i am sure it drives the state crazy, they can't regulate visitors, and this family lets you pay to go walk around as much as you want, wherever you want. we had to hurry because dan flew home that night, but it was neat! and so gorgeous up there.
