Saturday morning when Lance woke up the first words out of his mouth were "today is the blueberry festival!!!" It was poring down rain all morning but we decided to take the kids anyway. I am so glad we did because South of us the rain had already passed over and the sun was coming out.
Alyeska is such a beautiful resort (and very expensive). It offers world class skiing and snowboarding. Famous people like Shaun White and Lindsey Vonn are frequent visitors to the slopes. Hidden beneath the slopes are blueberry bushes that are loaded this time of year.
We had so much fun riding the ski life to the top of the hill. This year Lexie was tall enough to ride the ski lift (barely). The kids loved the ride up.
Once to the top we began our search for a patch of blueberries. Lance and daddy got rite in the middle of them.
Lexie was mainly interested in exploring. She found several mud puddles to hop in
Lance and daddy picked a big bucket full of blueberries, but Lance fell and dropped all of them in the mud lol. O well, we were just there to have fun. Lexie and I found several, but lexie ate them all.
The blueberry festival was tons of fun. We enjoyed some yummy food and some fun music. One thing we did that was the highlight of our day was the tram. The tram took us all the way up to the top of the mountain where we had the most amazing view of some glaciers, mountains and the cook inlet. It was absolutely breath taking. On the way up we saw a black bear laying in the sun napping. On the way down he was enjoying some blueberries.
We have really enjoyed daddy being home all week after work and having a weekend. I can't wait for this to be our new normal!!
