Ready for her first dance lesson.

Gwen's room is finished!

We got Gwen a bedroom set a couple weeks ago. I found the bookcase in an antique store and painted it to match the rest of the furniture. I decided I wasn't ready to retire the dragonflies yet so I just added to them. I think it turned out pretty cute. She really likes her room a lot now she told me. =)

First day of school.

Look Grammy! She was so excited when we found this backpack. We also got her a matching water bottle and a utensil set. As soon as I find her a soup thermos she's set!

Our first trip out of Anchorage.

Today we went to the Blueberry festival in Alyeska, which is a ski resort town about an hour outside of Anchorage. You get there by Seward Highway which is one of America's most scenic roadways. We stopped about 4 times along the way. I took a bunch of pictures, but I'm pretty sure you have to see it for yourself to really appreciate the beauty up here.

Unplanned hike.

We found out they weren't running the chair life until 3 and we couldn't stay that late so we decided to walk up and look for blueberries. I wouldn't have minded as much if 1, I hadn't been wearing flip flops, and 2, if we'd actually found some stinkin' blueberries. It was a beautiful view though.

Still a little snow left on the slope.

Piece a cake!

I want! Who wouldn't right?
