Enjoying the sunshine...

 So Ezra has an ankle bleed... what's new? This boy just doesn't want to miss out on life at all. He just keeps on going and instead does this crazy walking thing. They tell you to get your kid to rest the joint, ice, elevate... haha. Try telling your almost two year old to stay off of it. It actually seems when Ezra is having a bleed he is less likely to sit still and just gets crazier. It has been extra difficult to keep Ezra rested because the sun has been out... yes that is right, we have sunshine in Southeast Alaska. 
We figured out the best way to have a happy Ezra and keep him off his joint. The backpack!! You should have heard his happy sounds when Ian got down the pack on Saturday... and how mad he was when we put it in the car instead of starting hiking from home. On Saturday we took it up Lunch Creek and found blueberries!! Eve was so happy to pick blueberries and have blueberry pancakes for breakfast on Sunday.
On Monday Alice and Andrew (my brother and sister) had the day off so we went for a hike up Perseverance. Eve walked the entire way (a five mile hike) with only a little bit of complaining at the end. It was so great to have the help... I don't think I could have done that without them... no way would I wear both kids on me. The kids had fun up at the lake searching for salamanders; we didn't find any. We used to be able to find a bunch up there... but it was fun anyways. Best of all Ezra was so happy to be out doing what everyone else was doing and his ankle actually got a rest!!
