First Date - AK Version

 Last night, Hubby and I had our first date night in Alaska.

The four big kids attended a "kid's night out" art event at a local art studio, and I was able to find a new baby-sitter for the two little guys.

Hubby and I found a lovely steak and seafood restaurant with several stuffed grizzlies, moose, caribou, and salmon decorating the lobby.

We enjoyed a dinner on the porch overlooking the Alaskan mountains (I'm not sure what range), and had plenty of time to pick up the big kids and then get home to the little boys.

Lee Lee told us this was her favorite night so far in Alaska.  It might have been mine too.  Hubby and I needed the time to connect for a minute amidst all the change, commotion, and little ones who need us.

Unique Perspective

 People in Alaska keep a unique perspective on things...

Big Minute

 We had a very exciting minute here at our home... two teeth came were lost within one minute of each other - and without tears or a collision involved.  I do think some competition was involved.

PSA

 Just a friendly Public Service Announcement from your Alaskan Mountain Millers...

Alaska's waters have leeches.



Note: All the children in the picture lived to tell the tale.

Teamwork

 They road their bikes to our mailbox 1.5 miles away and they rode their bikes home again (several hills involved)... but the real hard work was checking to see if there was any mail.
