(Almost) In our backyard

We ventured out after dinner in the middle of the week for a drive and found this. 
It may not be exactly in our backyard, but this beautiful view is only a few short miles from our house and it IS ON base.  Can you believe this?  Peaceful.  All natural.  Almost untouched.  Alaska.
Then we came around the bend and found 6-mile lake.
At closer glance... 
 ... there are float planes lined up near shore.  Way cool.  This will definately be on my Alaska Bucket List!
 You can see the snow, right?  As a reminder, it's August.
 And because I know there are some people family grandparents out there that really only want to see pictures of the kids...
Bundled up for a ride to the playground one morning
 Enjoying yet another playground
 This was taken from the day that Thomas & Abbigail decided NOT to take a nap... a few minutes after getting into the car.
