There has been a little lull in posting but not worry, we have just been too busy to sit at the computer! My parents came up to visit and the weather was totally amazing! We were outside as much as possible. It was so great to have them here and the trip was over WAY TOO SOON, but I did get inspired to finish more projects around the house after seeing them effortlessly knock off my to do items--you know the kind of things that never really make it off the list.....Anyway more about all that later. This post is about Madeline's first birthday and our full day of hiking on Winner Creek Trail to celebrate! (again actual birthday party photos later).
Here we are just getting started! Andrew took the photo.
Maddie had fun the whole time!
We did run into several significant Chloe related delays......

Chloe got lots of special grandma/grandpa time. Much of which was spent riding on their shoulders....which somehow I do not have a picture of.
We hiked all the way out to the hand tram over this gorgeous ravine. Only two people could go at a time. We went first then everyone else joined us on the other side for our picnic!
Back across the tram to make the trek back to the trailhead.
And finally when the hike was over (maybe 3+ hours to make it 5+ miles) we went out for a special birthday dinner at Jack Sprat. It was beyond amazing! The girls even ate almost all of their dinner too!
Of course there was cake too. Also insanely good!
Happy first birthday Madeline! We all had a great time! Maybe we can make it an annual birthday tradition!

Looks AMAZING! do they have an operator sitting up there for the hand crank thing? Beautiful place!
Thanks so much for posting. We've been talking about the trip, but have no pictures to show for it...we'll never forget our camera again!
We had a fantastic time and miss you all (and your amazing house, and Alaska in general) already.
