We took these shots a few weeks ago at the 70th annual Alaska State Fair. State fairs are cool anywhere, but there's something special about it in the Last Frontier. Needless to say, we had a blast (just like we did last year).
The weather is starting to cool down, and the snowline is coming down the surrounding Talkeetna and Chugach ranges. Today it was beautiful, but a little cooler at around 45 degrees. Fall is definitely here, and winter isn't far behind. We'll probably have a colder winter than last year, and snow will surely be on the ground before Halloween.
The moose have started coming out again on our property. It's funny how we had so many more moose at our house in Anchorage than we do now living out in the woods. But a few have graced the property lately, though Simon's attempts to befriend them still haven't panned out.
We've also discovered all the cranberries on our property. They're sour raw, but cooked with plenty of sugar and butter, they make a delicious pancake or ice cream syrup.
Chloe and Malcolm are as happy as ever. Malcolm's 5th birthday is coming up in a month, and we're preparing his dinosaur-themed party. Chloe is out of diapers and is a proud potty-user, and we're all gearing up for colder months ahead. It was 25 in Barrow yesterday, and 37 this morning at our place. Hot chocolate, anyone?
