First and foremost, Happy Mother’s Day to all you beautiful mothers that are selflessly caring for your children. Being a mother has been the BEST thing that has ever happened to me. All the titles I’ve had do not compare to, “Mama.”
This year’s Mother’s Day I was able to spend it with my cub at a beautiful place called Eklutna. I was hoping to hike a few miles but my son had other plans. He was enjoying his time throwing rocks in the lake and running around trying to catch seagulls. The weather this weekend couldn’t have been more perfect: 60 degrees, sunny with a small breeze.
A week ago, this was the view of Eklutna Lake…
This was Eklutna Lake on Mother’s Day weekend…
The 10 degree difference between these two photos doesn’t take away from the natural beauty of this lake. This long lake is fed by the Eklutna Glacier and is a popular spot for kayaking, hiking trails, ATV trails, campgrounds and more! We were able to enjoy kayaking for a few hours since the waters were pretty calm.
You always here about teepees in Alaska…well I found a few…except they weren’t made out of ice 😬 There were many built around the beach area and were surrounded with kids playing in them and around them.
This was most of my Mother’s Day experience, what was yours like?
