Wildlife Refuge & Portage














Today Jon, Kyla and I went to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center where injured and orphaned Alaskan animals are taken care of until they are well enough to be released to the wild. We saw all of Kyla's favorite animals close up. The day was pretty rainy so we drove around and just got out near each animal. It is a really neat area that is a very natural setting for the animals. Kyla loved being in her rain gear and rain boots and splashing around in the puddles. Towards the end of our visit Kyla was getting tired and was suddenly scared of all of the animals.

After leaving the wildlife refuge we decided to head over to Portage Glacier since it is so close by. The weather was awful at Portage so we just went into the Visitors Center which has a pretty neat museum. Kyla loved running around in the museum checking out all of the wildlife exhibits, kayaks, and listening to stories at the phone booths. We had a fun day out in the rain and it was Kyla's first time really playing out in the rain, which was adorable.
