3 times in one year! This is a record number of trips to Alaska since initially moving out of state in 2005. I guess that's what happens when you have a baby in Oregon and grandparents in Alaska with lots of frequent flier miles. While there we were able to have lots of relaxing good times with Mimi and Papa. Simone was teething a lot as her 5th (yes 5th!) tooth was working on coming in while we were there. Hence her fancy vibrating teether star that you can see her demonstrating in these photos.
Simone also loooved getting to take naps on Mimi and Papa's fancy Heavenly Bed...
We went on a beautiful hike up in Bear Valley and got to catch up with old friends. We took a gorgeous drive down to Seward and had a fun time looking at all the boats. Simone also officially learned to crawl while we were there, Mimi even caught her first crawl on video. After weeks of "rolling crawling" and weird "crab leg crawling" she finally got excited about chasing a kitty toy and crawled after it. I'll try to get a video posted soon of her new abilities. Thanks Mom and Dad for another wonderful trip. We love you and can't wait to see you again.
