Autumn in Alaska


Helping Grandma pick tomatoes before it snows!!!



When Jon, Kyla and I moved to Alaska two weeks ago it seemed like Fall was just beginning with the weather cooling down and the leaves starting to change colors. Now, only 2 weeks later, the leaves have mostly fallen off of the trees, the temperatures have been 30-40 degrees and there is already snow on the mountains! Jon is so excited and looking forward to winter and I am just COLD!!! We are suppose to get snow in anchorage this week too, this is earlier than we normally get snow in Anchorage. Kyla is not yet to sure what to think of the cool weather. She has already experienced one winter living in Utah, but because she was so young we hardly ever had her out in the cold weather. Now, Kyla loves to spend time outside but does not like being all bundled up in winter clothes, a had and gloves. Today we went to the park and she just stood in one place most of the time we were there and stared at all of the kids rather than running around playing like she normally does. I am sure that she will soon get use to being bundled up in warm clothes and will hopefully enjoy playing in the cold temperatures and snow as much as she enjoys playing outside on a nice summer day.
