The day started with our Character Breakfast!
going slowly
This is what Walker does when he doesn't want to go anywhere. He shuffles very, very slowly. One toe in front of the other.

Character Breakfast
Oh, Lainey is OBSESSED. Totally fell in love with Mickey and Minnie on this trip...but mostly Mickey. :)
Still a bit skeptical of Goofy at this point.
Not having any of it.
She LOVES her some Minnie Mouse, too.
Pluto. Safer than Goofy.
a genuine smile
At the start of our zip-line adventure!
Ben, Abby, Brooke, Greg
Just a reindeer. ;) (He was fenced in...)
gorgeous scenery
a very scary bridge
a couple of zip-lining pros ;)
Zip lining made me a little scared! We were up so high!
Brooke, pulling herself in
Ben, leaning back like a crazy person
Ben searched for wild, edible berries called "Salmonberries." He found quite a few!
Oh hey there, Bald Eagle.
Lots of Totem Poles in Ketchikan!
the town of Ketchikan
(It was the first day in about two weeks that it hadn't rained! Everyone in the town was so happy. we were happy, too. But for a place without a lot of air-conditioned areas, it was hot! 78 degrees and sunny!)
Lainey got to meet Anna and Elsa! They only joined the ship three weeks ago, and we had tickets with a specific date/time to see them. However, thanks to a mistake that I made, we missed the first opportunity! Thankfully, Disney found a way to give us a second chance!
Whenever she's nervous, Lainey fidgets with her appearance. She pulls up her leggings, adjusts her dress, pulls at her neckline, plays with her hair; we have a couple pictures of her doing this exact same thing with her leggings (and skirt).
Example #1...
Example #2...
And now back to Anna and Elsa....
Lainey is such a hugger. Most of the time, it's spontaneous (this happened a lot at school, like when her teacher would be reading a story), or when she sees someone that she cares about. She just loves to hug people.
doing the "Hot Dog Dance" (from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with Goofy :)
Tears...she had missed pictures with Mickey and Minnie. (See them on the stairs in the background? They are on a tight schedule! Every character has specific meet and greet times throughout the day, called "character appearances," and if you miss it, then you have to wait till next time.)
Whew! They stopped for us! Thank goodness. We love Minnie and Mickey in their Alaska gear!
Table for 15, please.
the Harris family
(This picture was taken Wednesday after we returned home...notice the pose. Lainey has fallen in love with this costume! Thanks to friends, we get to borrow it for a while!)
Walker's "Dinosaur-y" had a towel friend that evening. :)
