We are home!!!!! 😊

We got home last night (August 23rd) around 11:00 pm. My friend Amanda is here hanging out with me today! We have been telling stories all afternoon 😜. Nothing much to report today, just taking it easy! 😎

Aug 14 - Palmer/Wasilla

We’ve spent the week visiting and checking out local places.  One fun place was the Bleeding Heart Brewery - we sat outside by a fire and tried their root beer and IPAs (made with local ingredients).  A food truck was there so we had sliders/fries too.  Both fun and tasty!  Most of the last week has been rainy but we had a beautiful sunny day and had Tate in a “pool” - he loved that!

August 7 - back to Palmer

We had a great time going to Seward and Hope. Lynice, Kris and I surprised Mom and Dad with a dinner cruise out of Seward. They saw lots of hump back whales and one was breaching for 20 minutes!  I stayed with Tate and helped with his bottle. Then the next day Lynice and Kris went zip lining and I babysat again. Then we all went to see Exit Glacier. Very cool!

Then we went to Hope. Historical gold mining town, lots of interesting history and buildings. 

These 2 pics are of Passwater Cabin. It was a post office in Hope during the gold rush. 

August 1 - Last night at Paradise RV Park

We have had fun in the Palmer/Wasilla area in the last week +. We went to the Fridat Fling in Palmer, there was music and lots of vendors. Tate and Lynice got really pretty sweaters made in Ecuador.  We had a fire at our campsite, made hot dogs and s’mores. Tate tried a marshmallow for the first time. I’ve been helping with Tate and Gaara.

And Tate really likes to help Grandpa. Here he’s helping fix a golf cart for someone.

We took Tate to Wonderland Park today. Fun place for kids, Tate met some new friends. Then we spent the rest of the day at our campsite enjoying the beautiful day.

July 27 - Paradise RV Park in Palmer

hi everybody!  We haven’t had wifi for a while so I haven’t been able to blog. We went to Kenai and helped Lynice and Kris do a final clean on their house, I had fun babysitting Tate while they cleaned.

We came to Paradise RV Park last night, will stay here for a while and see the sights around Palmer/Wasilla. Today we are going to Friday Fling in Palmer. 

July 21- Hatcher’s Pass/Independence Mine

We drove to Hatcher’s Pass today. Very beautiful blue-green river, we had fun.

Then we drove to Independence Mine, where they used to mine gold.  Kristopher pushed me up to the top of a mountain, where the mine opening is!!  This is us at the top. See some of the mine buildings behind/below us.
