Summer is making an appearance

Well the weather has taken a turn for the awesome all over Alaska and we are taking advantage. I was down in Juneau again for work and got away at lunch for a run with a friend who works for our contractor. We took a leisurely stroll up Mt. Roberts. Pictures below is the beginning of the trail.

Then there was a lot of climbing through trees until we got here.

The best part of the run was it ended at the tram. We had ordered lunch back in town and by the time we got to the top, it was ready for us. And the kicker, since we bought lunch, we got a free ride on the tram down.

Project is also moving right along.

But what am I talking about, how about some Max! Last weekend he insisted on going for a stroll so we obliged. On our walkabout we happened upon a garage sale that included this perfectly sized table. We bought it and now Max takes all his meals there.

Max has fully entered the stage of making a mess of everything. Below we see a rare triptych of Max eating with his entire face. Sure it looks like he bit the head off a live chicken but that's not at all the case. That's just a quesdilla and what was spaghetti. 

Our friend Steph and Dan are having another kid so we went to their baby shower. Max found some balloons and proceeded to drag them all over the house. Here Jes steps in between the balloons and Max if only for a minute.

And in perhaps the best picture ever, Jes helps Max water our basket plant flower thing. This is so happy.

But in case you think it's all sunshine and rainbows up here, there's a decent amount of not sunshine and rainbows. For example, here's Max at Target. He's tired, he's sick of shopping, and he need a bottle.

And here he is playing with a car in the sunshine, we're back!

I have been running a bit as well, Mike and I headed up to Rabbit Lake to check things out. Still snow up there but things are looking good.

Until next time, cheers!
