Alaska

Alaska is going great! We havent done anything really Alaskiny (?) yet, but we have been getting familiar with the town and really just relaxing. Actually I am loving just hanging out with my sister and her family and not worrying about a thing. I am still trying to get used to the sun going down at 11:00pm. That  has been throwing off our sleeping schedule just a little. But a least the suns out right?  

This beach is scary! Its like quick sand. I guess if you were to walk out there you would sink. And when you sink to a certain point its like cement, so when the helicopters come to pull you out you get torn apart.   

This is the view from my sisters house. This was taken around 10:30 pm.

She kept playing in these hats. Josh was trying to get her out. 

Ella and Lucy

Yes!

Lucy is finally saying yes. Its still not used as much as no, but at least she is saying it here and there. Oh yeah, Lucy has been off her bottle for about a week and a half. My goal for her was a year. I think I did pretty good.
