Alaska August 2013

Hello,

While we are in Alaska, the first time in what I thought was summer, 

August, 

I want to share what we have seen here.

First, in August, 

it is rainy, cloudy, and cool.

Not Summer, more early Fall.

so I didn't pack warm enough for this

cool weather.

We stopped in at Value Village,

the local thrift store,

so we could buy long pants, and long sleeve shirts

for this cooler weather.

I can wear Robyn's shirts and shoes.

So just pants for me.

I have only been to Alaska in the winter,

so this is a new adventure for me,

Green leafed trees

instead of Snow covered trees!

We have been here 5 days now, wow, the time goes by fast!

One day Robyn took us to go

blue berry picking.

Well, we never found any blue berries

but, 

we did find some very beautiful

mountains and scenery,

which is what I have never seen of

Alaska.

Our crew, minus me.

This is Gabe, Lucas, Dana, Robyn, Ali

The beauty of the Alaska Mountains

Lunch in hand,

We are ready to pick

Alas, no blue berries

So we just ate

with these beautiful surroundings

Can you believe this is

just all

Natural?

Every day!

Ali in the field of flowers

Gabe tromping through the field

It sprinkled on us a bit

but to see such a sight,

it is worth having a few drops

around!

Ferns and flowers in the grove of trees

we walked through.

It felt like a 

Lord of the Rings set

the trail went through

short trees that were arched

over the top of you.

Such natural beauty.

The flowers growing wild

on the sides of the road, 

in the fields,

by the streams,

and the lakes.

WOW!

We are loving it here,

August in Alaska.

Have a great day!

Robin
