SUNSHINE!

Since we have arrived in Juneau there has only been one rainy day. We have been loving the warm weather. Monday was my day off and I went for a bike ride and rode to the glacier and to the westside of the Glacier to Skater's Cabin. Skater's cabin is a place on Mendenhall Lake, which is created by run-off from the glacier. It's a great place to hang out and a lot of the locals use it in the winter when they go ice skating on the lake.
Here are some pictures of beautiful Juneau that I snapped while on my bike ride.

Monday night for FHE we went on a walk on the dyke trail. This trail goes around the airport and the landing pond for the float planes. A few planes came in and took off while we were on our walk and it was cool to watch them come and go.
We also had to take a picture of us in the sunshine because we are trying to convince Brett's parents to come up during the summer but Suz says that all of our pictures last year looked too cold with us wearing our jackets all the time so she doesn't want to come up here because she doesn't want to be cold. It's beautiful weather right now and we are sure enjoying it. We're hoping it will stick around for the summer. And if any of you see Suz and/or Craig you should talk them in to coming up here and seeing us while they can come for cheap. So here's our picture for you Suz :) and one of the Joneses for my parents and see how dang cute Dax is in his snugli (if you look close you can see the float planes behind us). The bottom picture is of a plane that is just about to take off.

Hooray for the sunshine! I was talking to my mom today about going to Alaska and she wanted me to tell you that she wasn't fooled...you and Brett don't have jackets on, but Megan sure does in the picture underneath. :) I think she's warming up to the idea...
