look familiar

we found the totem that is in the header of our blog!

we got that picture in the header before we moved to sitka.

spencer and i played a good game of frisbee here in totem park
we loved the totems and all the intriguing designs

we're still a little scared to walk through the national forrest

we might just run into a bear.

we love it here in sitka. the scenery is to die for. spencer likes to get out and see more of the lusciousness of sitka while hiking and being active. i'm not really into hiking here, although i have been with spencer this week. here in sitka they don't zig zag up the mountain, they just build stairs that walk you straight up the mountain!! it's funny how scared we are of meeting a big brown bear, we are all big eyed and creeping up the mountain while the local sitkans here just blaze right past us. i'm not really into getting eating by a bear after all. the last hike we went on we packed arizona teas and two snickers. then while we were resting on a bridge i pulled out my snickers and starting snacking away. i looked over to spencer who was starring at me with some very concerned eyes i asked "what's wrong?" he just shook his head and told me that he hoped the bears didn't smell the snickers i was savoring. then we got scared, turned around and headed home!

more from the sitka swalberg's later.

p.s. we buy lunch from these two 11 year old adorable boys jake and jack who run a reindeer dog stand (hot dogs made from deer meat) by our store. today we were cleaning our apartment when the two little rascals just walked right in our house! so i put them to work! they are the cutest boys, we just love them. spencer wrestled them up for an hour while i did the laundry... boys just always have more fun.
