Palmer Rail Trail.

By -

Finally made it out to the Palmer Rail Trail.

It was so much fun and of course we need to go back when I'm free of my sling to do some more exploring.




OMG!  They killed Kenny!




Lazy Mountain and Matanuska Peak visible.







You could really smell the high bush cranberries.





This part was a little sketchy for a one armed clutz like me, but we all managed with no issues.



Reminds me of the little grand canyon in Georgia, but different colors.




Dingo went down to those water and was happily chasing, but not catching any salmon.  

I really wanted to go down there, but it didn't look like a smart choice for today.

Maybe next time.



So many mushrooms out there!  These were so gray.



The first rail car we could climb into.




Can you hear me now?





Sleepy hollow.  HA!






Puff ball-ish.







Sweet Millie.

I don't know what was going on with her, but she would not go in there.

Something to do with spider webs.











It was hard to capture it, but these leaves were shimmering gold.









We did six miles round trip, but the trail goes straight through to Moose Creek Campground 6.1 miles.

After our hike, we stopped by McDonald's where everyone complained about how gross the food was!

The family went home and I headed to the hospital for my antibiotic infusion.

When I came home, I found Dingo laying on my electric blanket and he had turned it on!!!!



The Jordan's.

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...
