The cutest little duo ever. Iditarod legend Martin Buser's puppies are here at the Alaska State Fair and of course all the kids want to hold them. Well, all the grownups, too. . . . . #akfairfun #faces #akfair #alaskastatefair #akkids #puppies #yahoomatsu #babies #kidfriendlyak #AKontheGO #familyfunexpert #cuddles #sleddogs #iditarod2018 #fururechamps (at Alaska State Fair)

Fossil hunting at Racehorse Creek Fossil Beds! An enormous landslide in 2009 left an unbelievable number of fossils just ready to be discovered. Such a fun way to introduce kids to the idea that sometimes it takes a slow approach to find nature's most amazing gifts. . . . . . #AKontheGO #cousincamp2018 #hiking #juniorarcheologists #learnbydoing #exploreyourworld #STEM #natureplay #outdoorfamilies #outdoorswithkids #outfam (at Maple Falls, Washington)

Seward's library and community museum are a great combination on rainy days (or any day, actually)! Look for interesting history of this seaside town, and some sobering reminders of the 1964 earthquake. . . . . . #museums #seward #alaska #history #learnbydoing #exploreyourworld #AKontheGO #familytravel #familyfunexpert #alaskawithkids #kidfriendlyak (at Seward Community Library & Museum)

Looking toward Hoonah and Icy Strait Point, where we are not going. Instead, today will feature an hours-long "yak and whack" combo of bushwhacking and kayaking. Sun is out and it's a beautiful Southeast Alaska day! @uncruise . . . . . #AKontheGO #choosetouncruise #uncruise #smallship #familytravel #familyfunexpert #southeast #Alaska #travelalaska #travel #kidfriendlyak #alaskawithkids #outdoorswithkids #insidepassage
