My friend Sarah, recently bought a journal to record all the things she is thankful for in Alaska. I have to tell you, upon Sharon's advice, I bought one too when I first moved here. Yesterday I had to be thankful for one more thing.
A plethora of woods that provide ample emergency pit stops for little boys.
There we were coming home from a birthday party at the bowling alley when Ethan announced he could not make it home. Even though it was only maybe another mile in the 3 mile distance from point A to point B. Well lookey here! A forest on either side of us on the main drag in Eagle River. I pulled over. He jumped out. Took 2 steps into the woods and safely did what needed doing. Hopped back in and off we went.
Very convenient. Thanks Alaska.

I was lost moving to 'the States' (as we call the rest of the US in AK) from AK. Gone were all the convenient stops for the kiddos, (or a morning sick me). Thanks for highlighting some of the quirky things that I take in stride from growing up there!
