Okay, you know what they say... never take yourself too seriously! Ryan dragged me away from my studies one Sunday afternoon. I had three minutes to get dressed and this is what happens when your husband throws you cloths to wear. (I think that these are his pants, and the hunting jacket definitely matches the hat... don't you think?) I thought that this would be a good Halloween photo to freak you out.
Hillside colors are coming out!
The weather has been clean and crisp, perfect for hikes.
The Moose have been coming out!
Ryan went duck hunting with a new friend, Tyler. 
We have been loosing several minutes of daylight everyday. The Sunsets are amazing this time of year.
Even the moon seems to be bigger and brighter! Or maybe it seems that way because we have not seen it for a few weeks :)
The Alaska State Fair was a ton of fun! Ryan demonstrates the size of the winning dahlia.
The weather was beautiful!
This Bleeding Heart flower is 17 years old. Everything is bigger in Alaska!
World record 127 pound cabbage. The Alaska sun helps these giants grow.
You have to eat all the fatty foods while at the fair. Elizabeth and Kelly share a cream puff!
The Lumberjack show!
After buying food, and winter hats we retired to The Sluicebox.
Well known Alaska musicians Hobo Jim and Ken Pelteir were really fun to see! We also saw rising star Brook Faulk. Did you know that Jewel is from Alaska!
