Frozen in an Alaskan Spring


Everywhere we go, we are Elsa.  Turning everything around us into ice.  While in Homer last week, Elsa went on a rampage.



Of course, I am talking about Elsa from the movie Frozen.  Oddly enough she is the hero of all little girls, even  though her sister, Anna is really the heroine, but Anna dolls remain on the shelf, with anything Elsa...hard to find.  In fact,  we bought the only reasonably priced Elsa toddler doll in Anchorage and that had to be dug out of the back at Toys R Us...whew I say!  

The day after we arrived home from Homer the movie was scheduled to be delivered.  We waited and waited for our UPS man to get here (Amelia has no sense of time) and ran to greet him when we heard the truck.  He handed over the package straight to Amelia.  

Pop the popcorn! I have lost count at the number of times we have watched it since.  




 The weather the week prior was Lioness.  This week ... a Lamb.  Although still chilly, the snow is melting slowly and it was time to build Olaf.   He lasted about 20 minutes until he fell off the deck. 




Other than Frozen arriving, it was a relaxing, quiet week.  Skating is over til September as they are redoing the ice (will have to make a few trips to Anchorage to keep our skills sharp).  And the glorious sun shone, forcing us outside.  Amelia now wants nothing to do with sledding and snow pants.  She has been taking large chunks of snow and melting them in puddles on the road...she asked for her wagon to carry some.  At this rate we should be rid of the snow by May :)

She has been on a book reading marathon too.  To anyone who will listen.  Mainly me, but to her stuffed animals as well.  She gets most of the story right too.




Yesterday, the sun called us to the zoo.  



We found Sven.  More Frozen talk again if you didn't know.




It was about 25 degrees there and of course, Amelia did not want to wear anything resembling snow gear.  I  put extras in the back pack and carried them with me...good thing as she was freezing after her mountain climbing in the snow. 



It wore her out. 

Crossing our fingers that break up continues here in Alaska...bring on the glorious Summer!
