Breathtaking

So today was amazing. We were able to experience the beauty of the Alaskian landscapes firsthand. I am amazed at the beauty and truly struggle to put it into words.. if you have never been to Alaska you should add it to your bucket list of things to do. We dressed in layers... many thanks to Chris and the parks and rec department for helping supply extra layers. Then we adventured into the snow. One thing that was really neat to see were thoe people were kite skiing on a frozen lake. It was so beautiful out that many people were skiing sledding and going for walks. We met a lot of dogs today too. One even had its own pair or rather quadlets of booties.. it was too cute. We also had the opportunity to go to Firewood.nature reserve today and saw some cute animals. The porquipine was my favorite. I am very excited to start our service work tomorrow and meet all of the kids we will work with. It was a busy but amazing day. -Courtney
