Day 8 was spent in Ketchikan. We started off at the Great Alaskan Lumberjack show where Kyle was center stage is the creation of a wooden chair for him. Then we went to Potlatch Park where we saw tribal homes and totem poles. Finally, we walked the streets, including Canal Street. Kyle discovered an ulu is sharp.
Day 9 was a cruising day. We spend the day playing basketball, soccer, and swimming. The kids club had a talent show where Kyle played the piano and then a kids party for the evening.
