40 degrees and rain

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!  Hope ya'll get to enjoy some yummy food with family or friends.  Adam had a great idea and looked into volunteer opportunities at the Anchorage soup kitchen, however, they already had enough volunteers- how impressive!  So we will be serving at the Hard Rock Cafe's event- free meals to those who are in need and signed up.  Then we are going over to our amazing friends' house for a meal with them and both sets of their parents.  We are excited! 

Sooooo just like the lower 48, we have had some very unusual weather.  We have had warm temps- it even reached 40 degrees last week!  And only ONE snow- all melted of course.  So our "down time" between seasonal activities has been extra long this year.  It has actually worked out alright because Adam is still taking it easy after foot surgery.  He doesn't have to wear the support boot anymore and has been doing P90X workouts with some accommodations for his foot.  He is very anxious to start playing basketball again- he has already missed almost 1/2 the season.  Just waiting for it to heal completely, he still has some pain.

We don't have very exciting photos-- due to Adam's foot and the long wait for winter, we haven't been out adventuring except for weekend hikes for Tundra and me.

 Our little banana waiting at the door for trick-or-treaters!  He LOVES Halloween and tolerates costumes well!

 Family photo at our Halloween party- a bunch of Adam's coworkers came over for some beverages and games.  Adam even made up a game-- I'll let him share if he decides.

 This is the beautiful frost we get in our valley when the temps are cold enough.  Parts of the valley, including our house, do not get direct sunlight for a couple months in the winter due to the mountain blocking the low sun

In two weekends we are suppose to be snow machining into a cabin for an ice fishing weekend......luckily the cabin is only a mile from the parking lot so we can hike our stuff in! :)  We are back to cooler temps so the lake ice should be good to go.

We will be back in Iowa for Christmas!!! Yahooooooooooooooo!  Can't wait!

Adam turns 30 on January 2! 

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
