The sun and warm weather has returned to Seward, so we've been out enjoying it! We adventured to Anchorage and back last weekend. We spent the night breaking in our new ford bronco car-camping style up by Palmer. The mosquitos have returned with gusto--I have a group of mosquito bites so solid on my back you can't tell there's supposed to be 5--it's one big lump. The Kristen Blood Bank has opened for the season! We snapped this picture by Kenai Lake on the way back. Gorgeous weather!
Our trip to Anchorage included new tattoos. Tyler got this super spiffy Trilobite. Behave, or he'll go Cambrian on you!
An Anomalocaris in very Kristen colors: blues and teals! He was the first major predator in the oceans. And what did he eat? Trilobites! You're watching an epic battle frozen in time!
While the snow clumps were still lingering a couple weeks ago, we hiked up the creek we live on for a picnic after work. It was a combination of postholing in the wet snow and fjording the river where it had popped out of the ice. Here, I'm being lead by Wendy the neighbor dog who likes to go on walks with us, and Gretel's showing me her mad agility skills by swerving in and out of my legs as I post hole. What a helper.
On the road to Anchorage, we often see mountain goats that come all the way down the the highway. I'm standing on the opposite side of the highway to the goats, those white specks on the rocks. They're showing off their amazing climbing skills.
A brief update of our adventures of late! More to come shortly!
