Abby's two favorite spots

Abby's first time blueberry picking.  She LOVES blueberries!  She would rather eat them from your hand, but she will pick them off the bush herself.


Fishing in the Klutina River

Stocking up on a few groceries - Costco and the post office.

Crazy dog, Marina!

Marina and Dixie got to tag along!!
                                     Swallows under a bridge
By far, the cutest outhouse I've ever seen ( never thought I would ever use cute and outhouse in the same sentence).

The town of Chicken, AK!!  How did Chicken get it's name?  Around 1896 when they struck gold, people starting moving in.  There were a lot of ptarmigan around so that's what they wanted to name the town.  However, they couldn't agree on how to spell it, so they settled for Chicken!!

Palmer, AK
Nice little motel and scenery around it.

Matanuska Glacier
Black bear running across the road. If this was seen in Mississippi it would probably be a black panther????
