Today we went adventuring! We did some site seeing of the mountains and let me tell you, they are absolutely beautiful. I wish that pictures did this place justice. The whole day as we are driving around all of us were saying that we still can't believe that this view actually exists! We also went to the Alaskan Wildlife Conservation Center and saw some really coll animals. There were wolves, musk ox, black tailed deer, bears, porcupines, and even an eagle that was missing a wing! I just want to tell the world that I got to pet a moose which was pretty much the coolest thing ever. Around 10:00 pm we went in search of the northern lights which was very interesting. The northern lights move often so they aren't always easy to find but we thought we would try since it was a peak time to see them. Unfortunately, they weren't super bright but we did get to see a glimpse of them. Tomorrow is snowboarding at Alyeska. Wish me luck!
