Happy Easter!

The scenic Juneau airport, looking south-east(ish)

Happy Easter!  We went to a friend's house Sunday morning for Easter brunch (oh, such good food!) and then since the weather was fabulous, we took Seca for a walk at a new trail (for her)...the airport dike trail.  There were lots of dogs out walking, so she was happy.  The trail is through the marshes just underneath the 'normal' approach to the airport, so we got to see some small planes coming and going.  It would have been neat to see one of the big ones land, but we weren't there at the right time, I guess. I think we have one of the most scenic airports I've ever seen. :)

Looking left (northeast) from the airport hiking trails.  Mendenhall glacier is visible just above the trees in the center.

After the walk, we still wanted to play outside so we drove out to Eagle Beach for another walk, this time without Seca since she was pretty wiped out after the airport trail.  It was windy, but still warm, out at Eagle Beach, and the tide was coming in fast.  In fact, it was coming in so fast it's a good thing we were paying attention.  Steve was standing on a high clump of sea grasses and shells, watching the water creep in, and finally jumped off.  About 5 minutes after I took the picture below, that clump of high ground was surrounded by ~20 feet of water!  Granted, it was shallow water, but still deeper that you'd want to wade through with just shoes on.

Today there's Easter eggs hidden all over at school. :)  My favorite day of the year.
