What Would You Do For Free Blueberries?

The things I will do to get something for free! We climbed Mt. Baldy last week in hopes of some delicious blueberries. I underestimated the rainstorms here. Jesse wanted to turn back after it started to rain but I was obsessed with picking blueberries. When we reached the top there were blueberries galore. Delicious....no. I was expecting Costco quality blueberries. We literally slid down the mountain on our way back to the jeep. It was definitely a hike to remember. We were covered from head to toe in mud, any boys dream! Thanks for the ponchos mom.

And the Winner is.........

I haven't figured out how to do the random drawing thing online so we did the good old fashioned hat draw.

Congratulations Brandee! Email me your address and your Alaskan treasure will be on its way. I thought this was kind of fun so I will be doing another giveaway next month(Does it seem like I am hard up for entertainment?) Thanks for all the great websites.

Last day to enter The Great Alaskan Giveaway!

The winner will be picked today at 9:00pm. Please share your websites with me.

I am finally a winner

I entered to win free groceries on this awesome money saving site, Alaskasbestgrocerydeals.blogspot.com and I actually won. We've been loving all the free goodies. I had so much fun with this that I thought I would do my own little giveaway. If you leave a comment with a good money saving or cooking site I will randomly select someone to receive a little Alaskan Souvenir. Hope your luck is as good as mine!

Winner Creek Trail

This last weekend we hiked the Winner Creek Trail by Alyeska Resort. I would have to say this was the highlight of my Alaska adventures thus far. When you get to the top you can ride across the river in a hand tram. I was surprised at how high above the water the tram was. Not for someone who is afraid of heights! Matthew and Drew loved it. It is 2.5 miles each way. Drew's legs hurt for 3 days afterwards. He slept in until 1100 the next day and literally couldn't get himself out of bed.







The freezing cold water didn't seem to bother Matthew




Drew's first bear encounter
