Our First Day in the Snow

Sunday Malcolm and I took Simon to a trailhead of Chugah State Park that overlooks Anchorage. As we drove up into the foothills above the homes, we hit the snowline. By the time we reached the park, we were in a few inches of snow. We got to throw snowballs, slide down hills and climbed a steep, slippery trail to the top of a windswept hill with amazing views of Anchorage, Cook Inlet and Turnagain Arm. We're heading back there this weekend with Steph and Chloe, plus our trusty sled.

Unfortunately, I didn't have the camera with me, so no pictures. We'll post some this weekend. We're also gearing up for Halloween, which we'll be celebrating at one of the malls, where kids fill the entire mall and go trick-or-treating at all the shops. We'll share pictures of that, too.

Sorry, Buddy. From now on I'll keep two with me at all times, plusa pencil and notepad in case I have to give an artist's rendering of events. I'd suggest you use your imagination for now, but I'm not sure you remember what snow looks like. Suffice it to say I'm at work now (7:30am) and it's 22 degrees outside. Have a pleasant day.
