as i sat at 11:00 p.m. (yes, that's p.m.) with the sun shining down on us stranded with my one-month-old baby, my two boys, two friends and a dog in a beat up old truck that didn't quite make it up the rocky beach, nicole explained the term OIA. it means "only in alaska." it's a term that she and her husband use when experiencing wacky things that could only happen in alaska. this was back in may. jacob and i have since adopted the term.
only in alaska can you take a picture of your kids with a moose so close in the background!
only in alaska can you walk up to a glacier and touch it!
only in alaska are 25-pound halibut called "chickens" because they are considered small!
only in alaska can you take a short hike, have a picnic on the beach and then play in the mud when the tide goes out at night.
only in alaska can you sip hot chocolate with your children while watching killer orca whales swim in the ocean.
only in alaska do you not think twice when your kids stomp salmon heads on the beach.
only in alaska can you watch salmon leap out of the water as they make attempts to jump up a waterfall.
only in alaska can you fall in love with such a doll of a girl!
only in alaska... need i say more?
