Man it's been too long. This summer has not been nearly as care-free as last, and that's been bugging me. The reason that we haven't blogged for a few weeks is that we haven't done anything but work! Now with less than 3 weeks to go I have decided to get out and do something. We went for a little hike the other night and were reminded how beautiful it is here. The water in these rivers is soooo clear and blue!
We had an awesome surprise a couple weeks ago. Ben brought his family up with him on his monthly trip. It was such a blast! Alex loves everything Alaska and it kind of reminded me how cool it is here. In Alex's eyes float planes are way cooler than cars and trucks. As fun as it was to see Ben, Kurstin, and Alex, the highlight was definitely seeing baby Mya for the first time. Steph was the happiest she's been all summer.
We have a lot of cool things planned befire we go home. Next week we will be going on the world's longest zip-line in Hoonah which is a little bit west of us. We get to go through Icy Straits on the way there which should be awesome! We also get to go on some bear watching excursion while in Hoonah. Then the week before we leave we get to take a helicopter ride up to The Juneau Ice Field and go dog sledding. The helicopter ride was the highlight of last summer. After these trips the only thing I will have left to do is go fishing. I think it's going to be a fun couple weeks!

Oh the adventures continue. Steph does look so happy and baby Mya is adorable. I have to admit this time, I am a little jealous. That all sounds SO fun, especially the dog sledding and the zip line. And I am amazed by the picture of the water. I had no idea it was so crystal clear. Love it!
Man, again, gorgeous pictures! Do the adventures ever stop with the two of you? It sounds like you are planning some really exciting things in the coming weeks. Tell us all about it when you do so that we can all be jealous!
I am going to refrain from feeling a little offended. I'll be honest."Too Busy" is there such a thing as too busy to keep those who love and care about you up to speed on the ever changing experiences of the pair of you. I have chosed to take the higher road here and just enjoy the incredible scenery and terribly fun activities of your final weeks in paradise.
Editors note: Yes I realize I wrote chosed not chosen.
All I can say is that I hope Aimee got the same kind of harassment that we're getting when she took her two month break! I didn't think two weeks was that bad!
I hope when you get back we get to see ALL the pictures you've taken while you've been there. It's so beautiful and clean. I have to agree with Alex. I think float planes would be way cooler to see than regular vehicles. So glad that Steph got to see her new niece finally. I'm sure it was killing her that she hadn't seen her yet.
