On Friday night we went and saw Angels & Demons, we are both big Dan Brown fans so we have been looking forward to the movie for a long time. The move was really good but did stray from the book quite a bit. After the movie we went downtown to Subzero Micro Lounge for dinner and a few drinks with friends.
On Saturday we went to some garage sales, bought 3 hanging flower baskets for the house, went to church and then got together with about 15 friends for a BBQ at Jason and Jana's house! The BBQ was SO much fun! We had a ton of food (steaks, pork chops, kabobs, burgers and moose steaks) and played ladderjacks (one of our favorite summer games) and we ended up staying at Jason and Jana's till about 2:30am talking with friends.
On Sunday we slept in and then drove to Girdwood for lunch and then continued on to the Portage Valley for an afternoon hike. We ended up hiking the "Trail of Blue Ice" which is a hiking trail that goes along a creek at the base of mountains that are covered in glaciers. It was awesome to get outside and get a nice hike in on such a great day! We even crossed the river and found a great secluded sand bar where we had amazing views in such a peaceful setting! Once we got back home after the hike we planted some Alaskan Wildflower seeds around our house so hopefully we will have a great mix of wildflowers in a few weeks!!
Our streak of AMAZING weather is supposed to continue so I am sure we will be outside as much as possible this coming week.
Here are a few pictures from our hike today.
