A leftover from the previous post, but doesn't he look cute in his sun hat?
Here we took the boys up to Flat Top (which you can see in the upper right) The plan was the botanical gardens, but it was a) under construction. b) looked a little rustic and c) several mosquitoes tried to fly off with Sally while we waited for Gary to find the entrance. They tried to pull her out of the car. Plan change. I popped on the boys jackets and baby legs (leg warmers) and we drove UP!

Here they are with Anchorage behind them, and Susitna, the Sleeping Lady. Click on the picture to enlarge and you will see her better behind them on the horizon.
Flat Top
Sally sharing a laugh with Avery. Good thing he liked her, because Noah liked Papa Gary and only Gary. He tolerated Sally because she was with Gary, part of the package. He even went so far as to swat her away a couple of times. The night they left, Gary was holding Noah. Sally put her hand on Gary's shoulder, and Noah pushed it away. Mine!
Brownie Face!
Sally brought the bowl in to share with the boys. Noah got chocolate on his hand so I licked it off. Avery licked the spatula and then smeared his finger in the bowl. Sally licked his finger so the mess would not spread, and now the funniness begins. The next time Sally let Avery lick the spatula, he held up his finger to her. When we finally figured out what he was doing, I thought we would cry we laughed so hard. He wanted his finger licked, cause that's what you do, right? Every time he licked the spatula, he held up his finger to be licked!
We took the boys to the neighborhood park for the afternoon, and Avery found a basketball. (notice his secret service guy)
Talent!
Noah with HIS Papa Gary
Still has his bodyguard
Finally, Gary helped Rich dig post holes. Notice the jackhammer. When you live on a mountain, this is how you dig post holes. They were pulling out rocks the size of my head! But the holes (and fence!) are done. I'll post that later :)
