The weather in Alaska is always unpredictable.  On this trip it was particularly so....we had sunshine, lots of rain, driving wind and rain!  and even some snow....   We found a place out of the wind to hunger down and make hot chocolate and wait for the rain to quit.  I was relaxing on the hillside trying to soak up one of the only sunny moments.  The kids enjoyed the huge snowslide that we encountered while hiking......
