The Nurse and the Golfer: What's a Descent Without a Fall?

Cody was able to take the afternoon off yesterday and we headed out to hike Falls Creak Trail, one we'd driven past several times off the Turnagain Arm. The start of the trail was a straight climb... which turned out to be pretty slow going for us. The trail runs alongside a waterfall, so along with the lush woods, we could hear the water too.

At the trailhead

The woods were very thick and green... it was perfect hiking weather- dry and 50 degrees

A man in his element

And a goof in hers

One of the best views- the entire climb was facing north, so we had to remember to turn around to check out the view

Enjoying our picnic supper we packed

Perhaps we didn't pack quite enough

Enlarged to show detail... 3 white dots on hillside are dall sheep: there's proof!

On our way down

Perhaps running down the mountain wasn't the best idea: at least I only fell once (although I'm still working on getting the black soil stain out of my pants)

Where we can often find Caillat

It goes without saying that Cody's been very busy at the course...still. I've still been keeping busy at work, enjoying working days for the next 3 weeks before I change to nights. Cody and I are hoping to make a trip to Denali at the end of July, as long as the course can survive without him for 72 hours or so.

Wedding update: still working on centerpieces and decorations. We've decided on mason jars of varying sizes, now we just need to decide what to fill them with (which flowers, golf balls, etc). We're hoping to take our wedding bands in to be engraved soon, as well as deciding on our music. We met to decide on wedding flowers/church decorations with the woman that volunteers her time to decorate for weddings. She does a great job, so I'm hoping to relinquish that to her. Invites will be completed in the next couple weeks or so, and I'm hoping to get those all addressed/mailed by the end of July... keep a look out in your mailboxes!
