Mom and Dad: Day 4

This day just so happened to be my birthday :)  I am now officially 22 years old and it was such a fun day.  We got up insanely early to try and get on a tour to Haines and canoe to a glacier, but alas, they were full so we didn’t make it.  It was also raining pretty hard and it didn’t let up at all through the day, but we still enjoyed ourselves.  We hiked up to Reid Falls, went back to camp and took a much needed nap then hung out for a bit until we had a party that night with some people from town for my birthday.

After some cake and ice cream we had a great game!  A wood splitting competition!  Everyone had to get one round stump and split it in 4 pieces, and whoever did it the fastest won.  Everyone participated and loved it.  It was quite hilarious!  And even though we didn’t think of this before, it also made it so we won’t have to chop wood for our house for at least a month.  How convenient!  Here is some documentation of the grand event!

Just a little note, Holly in the green jacket rocked everyone’s socks off!  Including all the guys.  She is quite the champion wood splitter!

Oh, and just to show you how cool these guys are, it was pouring rain the entire time and they still came and smiled a whole lot.  What troopers!
