Mandatory Fun Squadron Camping Trip.

By -
To begin our Mandatory fun Squadron camping trip, Autumn and I attended a Change of Command ceremony.

Flag bearer and Autumn
Sean was the flag bearer, Autumn was the entertainment.

Autumn ran all over the place and around the audience several times. I could see several of the guys in formation trying their best to not burst out laughing (including Sean).

Change of command
All the guys. Eventually, I caught up with Autumn and found her here:

Autumn driving
Hanging out inside a High Mobility Multipurpose Wheeled Vehicle.

Look out
You might want to get out of her way.

Smiley Autumn
She loved it.

After the shenanigans at the Squadron, we loaded up and headed down to the Russian River.

A true Alaskan
In true Alaskan form, Autumn wore sneakers with her dress- smile shoes, not style shoes ladies.

Sean and Autumn Fishing
She tried to help Sean fish, but they were unsuccessful. ALL WEEKEND!

Sean fishing
My man is the fire starter, but not the salmon catcher.

We saw lots of animals though:

Tyler (that's the guy) helping Autumn ride Dixie. Also around camp,

Sean closing his eyes to a brown bear
Hey Sean, do you think you could keep your eyes open with two bears right next to you?

Taking a bath
This guy was actually kind of small and looked so cuddly!

There was also the big bad Porcupine!

Shooting
The weekend included: shooting.

Sean
Boating, errr off roading.

Snowzilla.

Autumn and I began the day shoveling the driveway. That is much more work than it sounds like. I had to get us both suited up for the ten degree weather, put her in the backpack, then head on out. It took us about an hour to finish the driveway and when we came back in, poor little Autumn's face had frost nip on it. She has now had frost nip twice. Later today, we went to visit Snowzilla. Frosty the Snowzilla man is huge!!! The local government is trying to put a stop to Snowzilla citing a building code violation. Well, I say down with the man!!!! Keep Snowzilla up. He isn't hurting anything. Anyway, here is a photo of Autumn and me with Frosty the Snowzilla man. Here is a related article in the Anchorage Daily News.

I hear clank, clank, clank in the kitchen. This cannot be good, grab the camera first though- for proof. You never know what you might find. Uh huh! AUTUMN!! What mom? I wasn't doing anything! So I've moved the knives for now, but it is only temporary. They need to go in a locked cabinet. I took Autumn's step stool upstairs to our bathroom so she could brush her teeth. I think I'm going to head back to Target and buy another one. I'm lazy and do not want to drag one up/down the stairs. Autumn really enjoys brushing her teeth.... with MY toothbrush! Say AHHHHHHH- checking to make sure she did a good job. She is so funny. Autumn and I are going to head downtown after nap time to see about the ice sculptures and check out the Christmas lights. Remember that house in South Anchorage that does the Christmas lights to music over FM radio? This year is the last year, he is moving and his new neighborhood cannot support the traffic. He may set them up somewhere e...

The man in the box.

Not really, it is just Autumn but saying the little girl in the box doesn't sound as cool. Autumn got in the box and was popping out of it. Then she told me, "Mommy, go that way." I think Autumn is on the tail end of this "cold." She already seems to be feeling better. Her nose is drying up, so that is good. I gave both of the girls a bath tonight, then I even got one! Emelia did something today that shocked me..... She rolled over. Of course that happened the day after you leave. Something else that waited for you to leave..... a 4.9 earthquake. It was the first time I've actually felt one since we moved to Alaska. It was, to say the least, scary to me! It did sound like a train/car/plane hit the house. Autumn was in rare form today. She told me that: She was going to take a nap on the stairs. Just kidding!! Such a sweet girl. Tomorrow we go to the Buckner gym for the first time with Emelia. I'm feeling a little nervous about it, but I'm...
