Our 4th of July was cold, rainy and windy! Ketchican was beautiful! The 4th of July parade was vetoed because of cold, wind and rain.
We all had matching shirts for the 4th of July. The little boys were in red, Dustin & I were in dark blue, David & Sharon were in light blue, and Danielle & Drew were in white. Somehow I never ended up with a picture of our family or all 8 of us with our shirts.
Ketchikan is hilly and right on the water! Green, green, green and very interesting! Dustin and I opted to take the walking tour of Ketchikan while David, Sharon, Danielle, Drew and our David went shopping and to the Science Discovery Center.
This creek (that's what it's called) often will have seals come right up to about this point to catch fish, during high tide anyway. We didn't get to see any seals but it was pretty cool!
The Salmon ladder (pictured right) helps the salmon get up past all the rocks and white water (pictured left and below).
This was the Associated press telegraph machine. The building was closed so these pictures were taken through the window.
There were totem poles EVERYWHERE! We really enjoyed finding them around the town and reading about each one. Dustin & I also made it over to the Totem Heritage Center. It was really cool to read about how, why and who made the totems.
Dustin & I found this sign to be very funny!

That resturant sign is funny, it would be interesting to see their menu. That second picture with the water, hills, boats, and houses is really neat, it looks like a pretty town.
