Fall Fun

While daddy is having his fall fun moose hunting, we had our own fall fun.  We went to Pyrah's Pioneer Peak Farm.  This u-pick farm has a fall festival each September.  This was our first time attending.  The girls had a great time.

We met up with some good friends and had a fabulous day.  The rain even stopped, allowing us to enjoy the outdoors for a change this week.  

We Moose Make Cookies

While Zeb was away hunting, I was home finding new activities to keep the girls entertained.  Since it snowed this morning, the first thing I thought of was cut out cookies.  What a great activity........ I really wanted to make some bats, pumpkins and owls for Halloween...... but could not find those cookie cutters anywhere. (I must have sold them in Nome thinking..... I will never have time to make cut outs during every season with 2 kids........but to my surprise life gets easier).  Anyway, I had the perfect solution.... Moose cookies for daddy!

This will probably become an annual event!  Moose hunting should be rewarded with cookies :)

Hot Moose In The City

Moose frequent our property....... 

 But today, on this 80 degree July day, this little moose stayed for a longer visit than normal.

 When she was done stripping some willows of their leaves, she moved on to fireweed.  And when she needed something to wash it all down with, she found the sprinkler!

 And there she stayed for over an hour.....

We all watched and enjoyed this moose sighting!

 When she was finished she wandered through other parts of the yard. 

 I am sure glad my gardens are covered...
