We hear summers are manic in Alaska, which makes the state a little bipolar in its nature because winters are the opposite. Last weekend we took the raft out, but due to a big accident on the highway, got a late start on the river. Getting off the water at 9 p.m. was a little late for the kids and our friend (also a night shift nurse) running on 3 hours of sleep.

Yesterday morning I got home from work, and the weather was beautiful. I had been awake about 27 hours at that point and couldn't bring myself to sleep through such a nice day, so we jumped in the car and headed north. In Talkeetna, we found a little lake to wet a line and play on the shore. Talkeetna is a community of 700 people +/- during the winter and nearly double that in the summer time. It is considered the gateway to Denali (Mt. Mckinley).

Not the best fishing lake around, but a great place to lounge in the sun:
And a Happy Mother's Day!
