Today we ate breakfast then went to a bookstore/touristy place. The bookstore was AWESOME. There was a nice selection..I bought so many haha. I think I'm literally addicted. :P Then we went to the visitor center type place and asked about flightseeing tours and stuff. The guy said there was a couple and gave me their numbers. I called one and they were like "nooo the weather's horrible the wind is supposed to be blowing and we don't have any spots available." Kayy then. We drove to the other one and they were like "sure we'll get a pilot out here the weather's getting better by the second!" HAHA..niceee. It actually was getting better. While waiting for the pilot we talked to the guy's wife. She said the Northwestern from Deadliest Catch was in Cordova yesterday and they flew Sig and Edgar out! JEALOUS!! I lovee Sig and Edgar! The pilot arrived in his floatplane and we got in and took off..my first time in a floatplane! Coool haha. We told him we were interested in the glaciers and that's where he took us. OMG there were SOO many glaciers!! It was seriously epic. Many in the valleys and even more small hanging glaciers. WOW. *swoons* And every single one was different..amazing. The weather even was nice..we're harbingers of nice weather I swear. ;) We flew over Sheridan Glacier, which someone said we could walk on..ummm it ended in a lake. Yeahh..maybe you used to be able to though. And..HE FLEW US OVER CHILDS AND MILES GLACIERS!!! Take that washed out bridge! He flew us low over the face..it was sooooo awesome (if only they had calved for us :P). It seemed the biggest glacier we saw was Miles. Of course as we were flying over it my camera said my card was full (it only holds 172 pics?! Whaaat). :P I deleted some that weren't that great so I could take more. We also saw some goats and moose! Totally an epic flight. My pics are INCREDIBLE..the detail and everything is just amazing. I can't wait to show them. When we went inside the house to pay there was a kitty! I pet him and picked him up and he was just content and purring. The lady said she was surprised cause he's not normally friendly. Awww he knew I was a kitty lover hehe. After that we drove to Sheridan Glacier and hiked up to the face. You definitely wouldn't want to try and walk on it..it's all melty and unstable. It was cool though. I liked hearing the rocks fall off the glacier into the water. Plus the weather was sunny and was beautiful on the mountains and glacier. After than we went back to town. EPIC beyond words day. :D I put my pics on the computer so I can take more. Hopefully I'll get all updated so I can post them tomorrow :P

OMG..mom's never gonna be able to drag me from the riverbank haha. There are so many awesome shots of it calving on YouTube it's hard to choose which to post! The glacier is 300 feet high and a mile wide at its base. I so can't wait to see it haha (it better calve epically for me like in the videos!)

It can stop raining now (again)..though it smells really good outside
