This is the Mendenhall Glacier a short distance from Juneau, Alaska. Bernice and VerNon where there on September 13, 2006. It is a beautiful sight. 

You will enjoy this little clip taken of David and Sarah the Monday following their marriage. We hope they will always remain as happy as they are at this moment. 

On September 21, 2006, Bernice and I went with Carol and David Holcomb to see some of what happened when Mount St Helens erupted on May 18, 1980. This is a picture showing that there was a fall-out of six to eight feet of ash many miles below the mountain. We saw the mountain about eleven years ago and saw thousands of dead trees. Now, with careful replanting, the mountain sides are once again green with trees. 

On September 11, 2006, we, Bernice & VerNon Bingham, were on a cruise coming from Whittier, Alaska, to Vancuver, British Colombia. We left on Saturday September 9. The third day out we were in Glacier Bay and got very close to this beautiful glacier. Bernice was facinated by the bue color at the top of the glacier. We did manage to get a short video of some calving. We will try to locate it for another blog entree. 

Our grandson, Carl Anderson with his wife, Julie, and three lovely daughters picked us up after our cruise which ended in Vancouver, British Columbia, on the 16th of September 2006. We are in the convention center by the dock where the ship passengers disembark. 

There are a lot of eagles in Alaska. They pair up and build a nest which they use year after year. This a picture of a nest in the museum in Juneau, Alaska. 

Here we are at the visitor's center in front of the Mendenhall Glacier not far from Juneau, Alaska. 

This is the Mendenhal Glacier that is close to Juneau. 

On September 11, 2006, we were in Glacier Bay. This one of the largest glaciers we saw during the trip. This compares with the Mendenhal Glacier that we saw when we visited Juneau. 

Here we are heading back out to sea from College Fjords. This was September 10, 2006. 

Bernice and VerNon left Whittier, Alaska, on September 9, 2006, and after a night on the ship they entered what is called College Fjords and saw some beautiful glaciers. 

Bernice and VerNon are with their daughter Linda in Eagle River, Alaska, on Lee and Linda's future building site. They have a beautiful spot overlooking the valley. 

George and Diane Welch are wonderful people. Here they are in front of their garden which will provide much food for many widows and poor people this summer. George and Diane served two missions in Alaska. We will meet some of their friends during our cruise in September. 

This is Sarah's family. They come from France, China, Cambodia, El Salvador and of course, Canada. Gino and Carrie Sacuto are standing at the left. They are all wonderful people. We think David is very lucky. They standing behind the Montreal, Canada Temple. 

Sarah and David are leaving the temple after they were joined together for all eternity. Sarah is expressing her love in a tender way. 

Here we are in Montreal with David and Sarah after they were sealed in the temple on August 26, 2006. It was a very special day.
