Trip to Dallas for interview and was hired!

Dalby Family Alaskan Cruise

The standby adventure begins, first among many miracles that we all arrived by Thursday evening.
And 4 of us within a few minutes of G&G to help get all their luggage to the hotel that was 45+ minutes away.  Kurt ended up getting there early and got to go with Steve & Steph to a baseball game.
Hotel fun
Travel to the cruise ship
K&K raced to get on the ship and were the first ones on.  The rest of us not too far behind them.
Soaking in the beauty, sun and fun~
Signed up day one for the unlimited fitness classes.  Best thing I could have done!  Besides climbing a lot of stairs all week and skipping the elevator, I took 7 fitness classes (some very hard), lots of dancing and came home being down 1 pound instead of up 7-10 pounds like I have on my past cruises.  And this is the longest cruise I've ever been on!  I kept my meals to 3 max a day, with lots of veggies and protein.  Did have some desserts, a few times a lot of desserts after meals, and kept movin and groovin and having fun!

Deep Sea Fishing for Halibut & Salmon
Loved being on the halibut boat with our married kids!
Nick caught a huge halibut and Justin a salmon

Fly Fishing for these 3 ~ so fun!

Dress up night with my beautiful family.
The shows were fantastic all week long.
lots of delicious food

The flowrider was a blast!

Sled dog adventures ~ beautiful, fun and amazing.  We even saw a bear!

A new favorite way to dance~

Electric Bikes in Canada ~ so fun!

A heartfelt thanks to Mom & Dad for this amazing and beautiful Alaskan Cruise Adventure.  We are so blessed and enjoyed spending time with our incredible family.

4th of July & Freedom

 Love the Sunday before the 4th and singing the National Anthem, have some hawks in our yard and they hang out on our roof, poison ivy from pulling weeds-ugh, someone had fun with sidewalk chalk on the paths that Tiff & I saw on our 4th of July morning run, went to Sound of Freedom with the Brays - what a powerful and heartbreaking show
The kids got together for some 4th of July fun🇺🇸
