Sunday Ice Cream Run


The weather here was BEAUTIFUL today, and boy do I have Spring Fever! I simply could not take another day sitting cooped up inside our house, so I begged hubby to get us all out of the house. We ended up doing our once infamous Sunday Ice Cream Runs. This is a beautiful drive, about 1 hour south of Anchorage, down the Seward Highway. This drive runs along the coast line the entire way, and we get to see glaciers and ice chunks moving in the ocean along beside us. Today though, the tide was out, and we got to see the mud flats with chunks of ice beached! It was pretty awesome to see.

We saw a few dall sheep as well, but they were just too high to get a good picture of. Overall though, it was just a great day to spend hanging with the family enjoying the sites. I tried to get Kyle to do some family pictures by the water, but it was really windy and he thought it was too cold.....gee, it was only about 45 degrees.... that's a heat wave for us! Anyway so only Kristina and I got some pictures, she's my little dare devil!
The ice cream was delicious at our turn around point! I had the "polar bear", which was a coconut...that tasted a lot like the coconut snow cream I make myself out of snow! Kenton and Kyle had the sweet black cherry, and Kristina had a blueberry cheesecake and cookie dough - odd combination! Kenton literally savored the flavor of his for the next 15 miles home!
Just couldn't have asked for a better day! I love my husband, I love my kids, and I love Alaska scenary on perfect weather days. Summer is coming and I can't wait!
