The Alaska State Fair!

So we went to the State fair today, which just happens to be right across from the home I am staying in. We had a wonderful time, and I think the biggest highlight was the demolition derby. Although it started to rain, we had a great time and the kids loved it! It was also fun seeing all the HUGE vegetables! The biggest cabbage was 79 pounds, and the pumkin was 900 pounds....amazing! And to top it all off, we had to go see the great sign announcing that Max was the first place winner in the cookie contest. He won $100.00, and was very excited about his ribbon....I'll have to show it to you in a later post.

Alaska & Sarah Palin!

I am in Alaska, and Sarah Palin is picked by McCain! Very exciting news all around, but especially here! She is from Wasilla, Ella's hometown! I arrived with no problems, and immediately was embraced by the amazing surroundings of the Mountains....and many rainbows. These are from the drive to the house. Today we go to the Alaska State Fair, and tomorrow we go camping and Sea Kayaking.....I am so excited!

Bronwyn, Hannah, and Max!
