Today the 31st of May a few of us went on a wildlife/glacier cruise. We saw whales loke the humpback and the orca (which is actually a dolphin). We saw a black bear (I saw it first, no joke). The glaciers were pretty cool, especially when pieces started falling off. I was the only person to get sick, but sitting in the back of the boat I was able to see the hump back breach (which is when it jumps completely out of the water). We all saw so many birds, the best was the puffins, they were awesome. For now this is Matt signing off...

Today we went on a wilderness cruise. We saw a lot of animals. First we saw some sea otters. After that we saw a bald eagle. Then there were some puffins. Later we saw a lot of sea lions. The sea lions fought a lot. After that there were a whole bunch of orca whales and I learned that they were actually dolphins. Then we saw a glacier. It was huge and looked blue. Some ice fell off a few times and it sounded like thunder. After that we went to Fox Island to eat dinner before the cruise was over. We hiked to Exit Glacier and we could hear the rushing water below the glacier where the water melted....Logan

The boys are correct...it was an awesome cruise. I do want to comment on this suppossed bear. It is the only thing approaching the appearance of a bear that we have seen. It was on the shoreline about 300 yards away. It did move and act like a bear....however, knowing the strength of the Bear Mace Lobby, and the incredible work that Disney has done with animatronics. Let's just say I need more documentation that bears really exist in Alaska...
