We have settled into our rental while the 6 month earthquake remodel begins on our house on the mountain.
We could have waited til after the first day of school to move, but Amelia said we needed first day pictures at the new house...so we remember.
Unfortunately, while taking those pictures, I locked us out of the house. I didn't have my keys or purse, but luckily she had her backpack. After a couple panic calls...one of her best buddies mom came to save us and all ended perfectly!
They began the demo immediately and we had to go check it out.
It wasn't pretty and it will only get worse before it gets better.
I will do a whole post on all of it eventually.
The first field trip of the school year took us out to Campbell Creek Science Center.
Learned all about a healthy water shed.
We also had a visitor from my past! A parent to three of my students when I owned a dance school back in NY was passing thru for his work. We had to show him Alaska in a day. First up was Snow City Cafe for a hearty breakfast.
Then off to Byron Glacier in Portage, Alaska
Bird Point on Turnagain Arm
Alyeska in Girdwood, AK
Ended with dinner at Seven Glaciers at the top of Alyeska.
We will expect him to return along with his wife for a proper tour, but it made us think that one day is really a punishment! You will only leave wanting more! This posed the question..what would you do with only one day in Anchorage?
Fall has arrived in Alaska and we are beginning to think about Halloween...stay tuned.
