Grandma and Grandpa Neal had not seen Lucy since she was 12 days old and we were so excited for their arrival! We took the train down to Denali over the weekend and had a fabulous time.
Lucy really enjoyed watching everything go by out the window. We saw a handful of moose and beautiful scenery.
Upon deciding that a long bus ride into the park in which Lucy would have to be restrained in a car seat would be a trying experience for all, we went in only as far as Savage Rock and did a great little hike to the top.
Lucy walked almost the entire way to the peak all by herself!
We had a lot of down time at home. Grandpa enjoyed snuggling with both the "babies" one afternoon...
One day we took the Riverboat Discovery and Lucy's favorite part was the float plane of course!
There was a lot of blueberry picking this past week. Lucy is a pro at it. One for the basket, one for her. Grandma and Grandpas helped us pick so many blueberries despite our busy week. Our total was 2.5 gallons this week! We keep waiting for the rain to stop so we can get out and pick some more. Lucy will need a stockpile for the winter.
Grandpa left yesterday morning and we miss him already! Grandma stays two weeks longer and she is giving Lucy constant attention...Lucy is soaking it up. Lucy started saying both "yeah/yes" and "bye bye" and also decided that she loves eating toasted seaweed! This girl has interesting taste buds for her age. She says "grandpa" pretty well and it sounds a bit like "papa". She'll see him again in December and will be talking up a storm, we think.
Lucy started eating meat this week! She asked for some NY Strip (um...hmmm) and the next night practically devoured the meatloaf that I made for Grandpa the night he since it is his favorite meal. He was sure proud!
