We started our day when we wanted to, no alarms! Thought to ourselves, "Hey, let's go on a small ride to start off the day." So a quick stop for some hot cocoa and a cinnamon roll to share, with the dogs excited in the back seat as they love to go for rides, and the radio set to Christmas music. We decided to stay in town, however this area of town is remote and on the side of the Chugach Mountain Range so a bit of terrain to deal with, but not a big deal for a 4 wheel SUV, right?

3 Wheels stuck in the shoulder, it was 2 wheels but with all the attempts to get out we got stuck even more! Totally my fault as I was the one trying to drive out and Kyle was pushing. We were a bit distracted looking for Moose and didn't pay attention to the curve in the road. You can see the marks in front of the vehicle where we tried for over an hour to get out. Ended up calling for help, Kyle's brother came out and helped pull us out. As we were heading home, crossing the road in front of us, a Moose!

Once home, decided now was a good time to start a nice fire. Changed into some dry clothes as we were up to our knees in wet pants and soaking socks and shoes. The dogs were happy to be home, and Frank promptly went to the fireplace and found a nice spot to warm himself!

Kyle ended up bruising his shoulder pretty bad, so I covered him in a blanket and he took a small nap as I got the table set for our Thanksgiving Feast.

A table set for 2, don't forget the punch!

That is going to make for a great Thanksgiving memory. Our best (now, it wasn't funny then) memory is the year cows got out in a blizzard, onto the highway, while we were sitting down to eat. We finally ate Thanksgiving dinner at 10:00 pm. The kids loved it and still talk about it today.
Lori,
My hubby thought I was crazy when I started laughing after about 30 min. of frustration and standing in knee deep snow. The whole situation was a bit humorous, but we were lucky where we ditched the car as most of the road has steep drop offs or trees up to the road.
Looking at your pictures makes me really miss Alaska.
My husband will be flying back up there in January for about a week, I know it'll be cold then, but I'm so jealous!
