An amazing stretch of weather...

We arrived in Juneau at the tail end of a record breaking number of days in a row with rain.  I thought that was how it would be here...  The rain turned to snow for the winter and then back to rain when spring arrived.  We did have some nice sunny days, but i thought those would be few and far between.  But now, i can't remember the last time it rained...  We've had some showers, but no real rain.  

Child care was closed at the gym today, so the girls and i headed to Twin Lakes for a walk so i could get some exercise.  Here are 2 pictures from Twin Lakes.  The one on the left is from this morning and the one on the right is was taken the last week of April.  I had to include the second as it is such a neat picture showing the reflection of the mountains in the calm water.  It was breezy today as you can see by the rippled lake.

     

After leaving Twin Lakes, we headed to Sandy Beach to meet friends (same friends we had dinner with last night) for a play date.  The three grown ups sat chatting at the picnic table, while the 4 kiddos ran around like crazy.  Sandy Beach has a unique view of the channel and the arriving cruise ships...  Here's a picture of the fourth one to arrive this morning:

M+M just woke up from a nice long nap and are playing while i type.  We're meeting friends (same friends that we met at the playground this morning) tonight at The Blue Hanger for dinner to celebrate the anniversary of their first visit to Juneau last year (they came to house hunt and moved here last August).  The restaurant isn't really called The Blue Hanger, it's just The Hanger.  M+M call it The Blue Hanger as it is in a blue building.  It's one of their 2 favorite Juneau restaurants as they can order dino nuggies (dinosaur shaped chicken nuggets).

Happy Memorial Day and thank you to all of the servicemen and women that i know and love!  M+M and i will say a prayer for you all tonight and for those who gave the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.
