Well it's officially the start of our summer season. The snow is finally all melting away. I spent 3 hours a couple days ago trying to clean up most of our backyard. Now with 2 dogs in the Family we have twice the poop to scoop away and its always really bad at the start of winter break-up. Justin will be taking our snow tires off and putting on summer tires back on and we can put our sun roof down and start cruisin again. Last night we had our first official BBQ for the season and the kids were happy to have all their friends come over to play with them. They were so happy to be able to go on the trampoline and on their slides and swings after almost 7 months of not being able to play out back. We set up Daniel's basketball hoop at front and he can start playing outside with his friends and the kids are anxious to get outside and start riding their bikes. Justin is on the first official Denali Offroad Trail Run of the summer today and we are going to meet him after the run at a BBQ in Wailla. IT is so nice to be able to start being outside and not cooped up in the house anymore. The hardest part of living in Alaska is the 7 months of cold temperatures and being stuck indoors all the time and the next 5 months are actually the best time to live here where we can actually enjoy living in Alaska.
