Hiking

Yesterday afternoon we met the Ness family. Brian was in Greg’s upgrade class this past spring. Their family invited us to join them hiking yesterday at Eklutna Lake. What a fantastic day! We hit it off right away. Very thankful to have met this family and hope to explore with them some more this summer!Highlights of the hike:

Watching my kids explore with new friends

Beautiful scenery

Kids exploring the teepee

Mud fights – yes the kids were covered in mud by the time we left!

No bears or moose, but I did see a mouse!  


Last night we headed over to Guy’s house. Greg was able to join us too! Guy made us halibut fish tacos and rhubarb mojitos! Our kids even loved the halibut, well, Rahab not so much. But Esther and Jadon decided they could eat halibut now! What a treat it was to have fresh fish! Blessed 🙂

My kids love the chickens and the eggs at Guy’s house!  


Today Greg was home with us all day!!! We headed towards Girdwood up to Winner Creek trail. Wow, the amazing views we saw of Glacier Creek were incredible. Going over the snowcat bridge, with no railings was awesome! It’s a weird feeling to have the river rushing below your feet. We also got to ride in a hand tram for the first time. Nothing like trusting a cable rope as you take in the breath taking scenery. It was a 5-mile round trip hike. Everybody made it without being carried! We didn’t see any moose or bears. Only a couple of squirrels.
