We've had an excellent summer so far, in both the sun and rain! In Alaska the long sunny days are so incredible that you never want to go to sleep. Sometimes it's hard to believe how light it really does stay, but it does and I LOVE it! I may or may not still be afraid of the dark sometimes...
We figured out last year that even with the summer having great weather it still rains a lot, so we invested in rain boots and gear. There's no sense in staying inside when it's just wet! Splashing in puddles and playing in the rain can be just as much fun as playing in the sun, as long as you get both. Plus, we typically see more moose when we hike in the rain! Bonus!
Summer came earlier this year so we took advantage and have been camping, hiking and biking as soon as the snow melted. It is hard to live far away from family, but the incredible beauties around us and all of the close access to fun adventures helps make up for it. We love it!
