Hakuna Matata

I am counting down the days until Saturday. Not only and I getting my snow tires put on but I am going to The Lion King! The musical is playing here in Anchorage and friend convinced me to go.

I wasn't sure at first because people pretend to be the animals and I thought that was a little weird. But after thinking about it, I just can't pass up the opportunity! It is showing right down the road pretty much.

I loved Les Miserable and Wicked when I got to go, so I hope I feel the same about this musical. I have heard great reviews from everyone that has gone so far. I will give a full report when I get home!


Back to the snow tires...

It hasn't snowed here yet but there is snow on top of all the mountains around here. It rained the other day on the way to work and when I came out, they were covered. I haven't had time to get good pics yet but here is one of the mountain I see out the living room window. You can see the fall colors and the snow!

A Thursday at the Zoo

Aaron and I ventured to the Anchorage zoo yesterday. If you know me at all, you know I LOVE the zoo! It wasn't very big but it was very clean, the animals had good space to roam, and the areas around the cages were really well maintained. I hate when I go to the zoo and you can't hardly see the animals because of over grown weeds or trees.

We saw animals sun bathing, seals licking windows, the oldest looking camel ever, crazy brown bears and an alpaca who had a hairdo that reminded me of an 80's hairband! I didn't take a picture of every animal but below are some of my favorites. (I only took my zoom lens into the zoo with me so there are some extreme close-ups.)
