More from Beach Lake

By -
Friday night Millie had her best friend, Zoe, spend the night.

Saturday morning we got up and headed out to Try it Again Sports to purchase Millie some ice skates.

After we made the awful mistake of eating Taco Bell for lunch and dropping Zoe back off at home, we grabbed Autumn and Dingo and went out to Beach Lake again.

Sean, Autumn and I walked while Millie skated.

Autumn and I went off on our own and walked along the beach.

We saw two bald eagles.

They were huge!!!

When Autumn first pointed out the one on a branch hanging over the beach, she asked, "Is that a human?"

As we got closer, it took off.

Autumn and I turned around and that was when we realized there was one really high up in a tree and it had been watching us the entire time.

We got near the tree it was in (looking for illegal feathers to collect) and it swooped down on us.

It was very exciting to say the least.

Millie enjoyed her ice skating adventures but was begging to go somewhere that had a glacier.

I don't think that we are quite ready for that adventure, but some day.

Now some of the rest of us need some skates!

When Autumn and I made it back to the lake where Millie was ice skating, we could hear the sounds of the ice expanding and contracting.

It was creepy to say the least.

Someone was in the middle of the lake drilling a hole.

I guess it's thicker than you might think!

The last photo was from Reflections Lake.

I hope to go there and get some of my own photos.

Our day in pictures:



Millie and Zoe as zombies!

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...
