Our first week in Alaska

                                                                              
                                                                                

Our family has now lived in Alaska for an entire week!  And what a week it has been!  We have gotten a lot accomplished, seen friends from Macon, made new friends here, and had tons of fun!  Here are some pictures from the past few days.

The view from the top of the Anchorage Museum.  Aren't those mountains beautiful???

 The kids had a ball on the first floor of the museum - all the hands-on activities were so much fun!

 

The bubbles were the most fun!

This may be what we all look like in a few months!

Greg and Betty Hudgins (from Macon) were on vacation in AK and we met up for the Bear Paw Festival on Saturday. They also came to worship on Sunday morning. Such a sweet treat for us!

 We think it's cool that there is a Northwoods Drive in Chugiak...just like our home street in Macon!

 We went for a hike to Thunder Bird Falls with a few families Sunday evening.  It was beautiful!  

They were serious...the side of this trail was real steep!

Yep...they really make bear spray.  Thankful that we didn't have to use it on this trip!

They have HUGE mosquitoes here

It's been an incredible week!  We are so thankful for the call God has put on our lives to bring us to this place.  We are excited to see what He has in store for us!  Thank you for praying for us!
