sandy beach

today the weather got above 50 so we headed off on our bikes to "sandy beach"


spencer was scared of the freezing cold water, everytime it would get close he would run.




i give sandy beach one thumb up






here are our footprints in the sand, it was such a beautiful day






what a beautiful little get away beach we have here in sitka! we felt like we were on vacation, digging our toes in the sand and even getting a little sun burned! it was our first time touching the ocean and it was great. on the way back to our pad we stopped at mcdonald's for a spicy mc chicken, after i gagged for about an hour while we watched about 50 bald eagles fly over head. where else in the world are there mickey d's on a harbor where you can sit and watch bald eagles? it is amazing. we went to a little league baseball game tonight and had the greatest time with our new friends from the ward. today i am grateful for the sun and for my body that functions properly so i am able to ride my bike into the wind and feel like a child.

p.s. i'm learning to cook and or bake... i've made no bake cookies AND rice crispy treats so far. spencer tells me i'm the best at baking treats that you don't have to bake, i think i've found a hobby.

why where you gagging? Did a bald eagle drop a giant one on your chicken sandwich? It would explain the spicy part.

Slayer has it figured out...I didn't know bird crap was spicy. We were fishing this weekend in Montana and a bald eagle was flying over head and would fly back into the mountain where we could hear babies. We were all in a bald eagle trance I cannot imagine seeing bald eagles like we see gulls at the dump pretty cool stuff!
