more Danae and Tyler times

creepy face tyler!! hehe funny funny!

Oh geeesh! Where were we?!??!

First--- Adam is currently in Phoenix, AZ....enjoying the HOT HOT weather and going through training! He doesn't have scores back on his test yet--but he feels REALLY good about it...must've been all that studying!

I miss Danae soooooooooooooooooooooo much......and Tyler! :) We had such a great time, I can't wait until next time! Here are a few more things we did during their visit.....

-We went to the Bear's Tooth---movie and dinner. Well, we ate dinner at home and shared popcorn, m&ms, and raspberry bear while watching Bruno.....interesting movie.

-Tyler, Danae, and I also hit up Moose's Tooth (by the way-bear's tooth and moose's tooth are also names of mountains) We had some yummy pizza and beer from their brewery. Tyler had to finish my pizza....it was so insanely spicy, I couldn't even eat one piece!! But the breadsticks and beer were delicious!

-On the last night-we double-dated at the Peanut Factory......but unfortunately (especially for Tyler) they didn't even serve peanuts! BUT THEY DID have TVs at each table with any sports channel available. After we FINALLY got our food and drinks...it was a great time. Especially since part of our meal was free! (I wonder if that waitress still works there?!?!?)

-Tyler, Danae, and I went on hike near McHugh waterfalls. A storm was a brewin, so we only saw one animal....a moose of course! We saw another beautiful view and the photographers took some more sweet pics!

-We visited a pond/lake in Anchorage and Danae met a friend! This duck would not leave her alone---it even got out of the pond and started following us to the car. We had to hold Danae back from making it a pet. "Awww, I want a duck!!"-Danae

-We went part way up Artic Valley to get another view of Anchorage. Oddly...the bugs chased us away.

-We went to Kincaid and took a different trail-hoping to see a bear or moose. Danae even packed some m&ms in her pocket to attract the bears....didn't work. But we did see some pretty wild mushrooms and fungus--bright orange and red!

-We caught the jets flying twice. One morning there were 6 of them that appeared to be playing around---it was quite the show! We saw several "touch-n-gos", even by one of the jumbos!

-We also visited Potter's Marsh, where you can see fish, bear, moose, and numerous kinds of birds. We saw a bunch of silver salmon coming in--they looked "normal" because they had just got to the fresh water. Up the river a bit the pink salmon were "mutated" with humps and beaks---I still find this very interesting! So....we saw salmon, birds, and a bald eagle. They have pictures posted and dated of various plant life and wild life at the marsh---there was a bull moose and a black bear dated at the beginning of August. We JUST missed them!
