edge of the earth

day 201











Today we headed back to one of the many glaciers in Alaska to go sledding. I felt really awesome carrying a sled down the trail; my mom said she just felt dumb. A crowd even gathered at the base of the glacier to watch me make my first trail down the snow. They probably thought we were crazy Alaskans. Psh, no way. But then again, whoever heard of sledding in July?

halfway home

day 200

Woah. It's day 200 already?! That's crazy. Megan kindly let me go outside to shoot a photo really quickly, as I have a theme going and wanted to do something special to celebrate day 200 in the 365 project. I probably could have spent three hours on this concept but it was really hot outside today (70 degrees I'm a baby) and didn't want to leave Megan alone for too long. :)




Today we hiked up one of the many mountains around town. I think Megan brought the good weather with her because it's been amazing since she's been here!






My mom is in the other room right now, talking about how we hiked the mountain and are all out of shape. We didn't go to the very top because she had shoulder surgery a few months ago and the very last part of the hike includes literally climbing up the mountain, but I certainly didn't complain!






After the hike we did a little shopping and then came home to cool off and watch movies, but then decided to brave the heat and soak up some vitamin D. Aaah it was a perfect day.

day 199












Today Megan and I drove around the town, visiting the local touristy places. We went to go see the giant chocolate fountain and $11 glacier water, the local book store, the local hippie place; we went to eat yummy bread and yummy drinking chocolate, and I may or may not have gotten lost along the way. Finally we ended it with some intense badminton and marshmallows. It was a pretty awesome day if I do say so myself!

she's here!

day 198


















Megan's here! My heart is bursting. Today we went to the zoo and got to see all sorts of cool animals, including baby bears and a baby moose! They were so cute. Tomorrow we'll be doing even more touristy things and I can't wait!
