We had quite the weekend. I have so many pictures that I have to break it up by adventure. I know you guys are all excited to hear all about the fungus fair, so that is first! We drove out to Girdwood first thing in the morning to join in the nature mushroom walk. Chloe was great the whole drive down, if you look closely you can see she is holding Polka Dot Paul, one of her favorite toys. 
The hike began at the base of the mountain, and along Winner Creek Trail. About 10 minutes in to the walk we realized that these people were serious about their mushrooms! We were way out of our league when it came to mushrooms. We wanted to know which ones were edible, but everyone else was there to discuss the genus and species and origin of each variety. 
These baby ones were very cute, although dangerous to eat.
Wow, we learned a lot but moving at a speed of 2 feet in 20 minutes was not Chloe's idea of a fun walk. (Mine either, but I can blame everything on the baby now). We decided to ditch the tour and go for our own hike.

Chloe was happy to be changed, but as soon as Andrew got the camera out, the smile was gone. With all the pictures we take you wouldn't think she would be camera shy.

Yes those are fall colors you are seeing!
This was one of the most beautiful hikes I have been on in Alaska. You can see the forest is a lush sea of greens. It was amazing.
After the fungus fair and hike, we went over to Chuck and Farah's cabin for some lazy time out on the deck. There is Polka Dot Paul again!

Soon after this picture Chloe began screaming, and did not stop for a good 45 minutes when we finally gave up on the rest of our plans and loaded her in the car to go home. Instead of having an amazing dinner out at the cabin we ended up back home eating leftover pizza and watching a movie. Parenthood is great.
