Hey yo peeps!! I have been frustrated trying to get these photos to upload, so the text will be brief.
This is the $9 icecream concoction our neighbor girl made at Avalanche Icecream when I took her there after some tutoring sessions. She is in first grade, so I get my "first grade-fix" :) She ADORES Adam, so our brain breaks involve freeze dance and hide-n-seek with him and Tundy.
Another joy of living in our culdesac full of munchkins.... a random sock that was left in our yard! The owner of this sock has been earning money by going to the neighbors and getting paid $2.50 for shoveling the stairs! He then brings over the cool things he bought with the money to show us! :)
Right in our backyard-- Eagle River
Since we went FORRRRRRREVER without fresh snow, Adam, Tundy, and I had a sledding adventure one Sunday. A video will be posted at the end of this blog as soon as I can get it to cooperate and upload! SLEDDING.... ALASKA STYLE!
Waiting for Adam at the bottom of the "first run"
"C'mon Dad, what's taking so long?!!?"
We had quite a few cold, clear nights and these photos are the result. These beautiful, growing crystals are called hoar frost.
When Tundra or I would bump a weed, you could hear the frost falling like glass. So cool!
This was a chunk of ice that was pulled from a hole in the river
Another sledding trip to the same spot--our original paths were still there. It was too dangerous to sled
More icefishing! 12 lakers and 4 burbot in one day!
Can you tell he is a happy dog? Spoiled and smiling! :)
This photo was taken specifically for Adam's dad, white-grub twister tales even work in the Alaska ice!
I brought my skiis this weekend.... but as you can tell, the lake had the conditions for ice skating instead!
burbot
cozy
A lil burbot-- I was saying, "its so cute!" This picture shows the fins on top/bottom. We call it an eel fish
Denali showed itself
Gorgeous view from our bed and breakfast
Our lil family........ Angel passed on this weekend trip! ;)

We FINALLY got a little snow, just in time for our friend's birthday weekend at Alyeska resort. Adam checking out the Turnagain Arm
Always good times!
AND NOOOOOWWWW--- on to the videos!
Sledding--- Alaska style! Adam made a lil ramp for me!
An example of fishing from holes in our hut with poles
And an example of using tip-ups in the holes outside
PEACE LOVE HAPPINESS to you all! May the midwest have some much needed spring weather!
