Its SATURDAY..Lets get out of the House!!!

So we got up and got motivated today. We headed to the Zoo for an Easter Scavenger Hunt. We were ahead of schedule so we headed up to Flattop aka the Anchorage overlook it was as beautiful!!!! You could see for miles and miles. It was a great day for the overlook to it was so crisp and clear.

Will headed to the top of the overlook ahead of Steven and I.

The boys with the the view behind them

Looking at the city this was the view behind us if you like nature views Anchorage/ Alaska is definitely the place to be.

Same view with William in it.We made it to the zoo just after it opened. Let the animal tour begin.This baby seal was just as curious about us as we where of him. lol
The otters are so much bigger than you think they would be.
The tigers where huge I think one of there legs was as long as Steven is tall and probably weighed as much as he did.

This wolf kept looking at Steven like he was the appitizer before lunch. And the intensity of the look freaked me out.

Due to the holiday (Easter) the Zoo Keepers filled balloons with berries, apples, juice and water and then froze them. Along with these fruitcicles they hide hard boiled eggs all over the polar bear exibit. It was alot of fun watching the bears sniff out the goodies. And one of the bears really does not like to get in the water in the winter time so it was funny to watch here try to get to the fruitcicles that had been thrown in the water.

Thanks to a fence post we even got a family pic lol.\

After the zoo we where already on the other side of town so I figured we would head out to Balugia Point to see if the whales where around yet. They were not but it was still just nice to look at the view. The climb up the hill was steep but definitely worth the view.

William again headed out with Steven and I bringing up the rear.

At this point Steven had, had enough of the picture taking and was very ready for a nap.

William looking for whales.

Steven tried to.... but was not quite tall enough.

Me and the view

After all the fun stuff I figured I need to do something I had been putting off for awhile.

CLEAN THE YUCKY TRUCK

Due to breakup season ie spring I was not the only one with this on their to do list for the weekend. We waited for about 20-30mins.

WOW the truck really is green under all that mud, dirt, sand and probably some ash from last weekend.

Okay I am pooped and this was the last of the things to do before I chill out the rest of the day!!
