Our Buddy....

We would like to take a moment and introduce you to our friend Buddy. Buddy has an interesting story. It goes something like this:

We found out that you can not make a snowman no matter how hard you try out of freshly fallen snow. So we waited a couple of days. Then A went out and made an awesome snowman complete with a carrot nose. Being on the bottom floor has its advantages!

The next morning we discovered that the snowman's nose was gone... We kept sticking a carrot on there to make him complete. This went on for three days. On the third night we heard a sound out on the balcony and when I lifted the mini blinds we scared each other and that is how we met Buddy. He had been stealing the carrots. A started leaving carrots out on the balcony for Buddy until we found out that you could be fined $250.00 for feeding them. That put a stop to that!

That was almost 4 years ago. He still drops by from time to time. He is larger now and has antlers.(See A I know the differece between antlers and horns!!)

Bald Eagle

We drove over to Seward to check out the Alaska SeaLife Center. The SeaLife Center is a research, rehabilitation and education center. They have a behind the scene tour that is really fun and informative.

After checking out the SeaLife Center we went for an hour cruise on the Sea Quest. For me the highlight of the cruise was spotting the eagle in the tree.
