Baptism!!

Lexi was baptized (as well as her friend here) this week.  My camera's batteries were completely dead, so when I get my phone's pictures on here I'll get one of her and her dad.  My parents came up for it and a bunch of John's family was here too.  Wish we lived closer to more family so others could be there too, but even without them we felt their love and support and it was a truly special experience!  We're so proud of our Lexi!

Misty Fjords

Tourist for a day was yesterday (yay for not being on a Sunday for once!)  Locals get great discounts on tours and this is the first year we've been able to take part in it.  John and I decided on a float plane tour to Misty Fjords, one of Ketchikan's most popular tourist attractions.  When John was in the Bishopric he'd occasionally take a float plane to visit members of our ward on another (more remote) island, but this was my first time in one.  The landings and take offs were the smoothest I've ever experienced in flying.  The plane itself was pretty small.  There were 6 of us total (including the pilot), which filled the plane.  On the flight back home I was in the copilot seat and the pilot reached over for my phone to take my picture, which I thought was kinda funny.
Looking at the pictures reminded me a little of the grand canyon; you just can't capture the grandeur of the scenery.  John's been working like a demon lately, so I felt fortunate we were able to do this together.
