Enjoy photos from our Alaskan winter! We had an amazing, snowy winter, but it was very very long! Very long!
Our neighbor girl, Katelyn (13 yrs old) took these photos when we went on a river adventure
We found several new sledding areas, sought out since we got new air tubes. More sledding photos to come but the kids had just as much fun jumping and crawling in the deep snow at the bottom of one of the hills.
Daddy ordered snow cone cups and flavoring! Grape, Blue Raspberry, and Tiger Blood were the flavors this winter. We noted that the tiger blood flavor actually looks like blood when the left over snowcone is thrown out in the front yard. A raven swooped in after it! Ha!
Santa Claus, COVID style. I thought Bass Pro shops did a very good job managing this feat.
Tundra got in there too!
We went to a drive-through Christmas light display. We took popcorn and hot chocolate. Unfortunately we were disappointed by the size of the display, considering how much it cost and how long we had to wait in line. So we went through a second time towards the end of our time slot when the line was shorter.
The dinos were the favorite of course! There was also a part of the display in which the lights were timed with Christmas music.
Icefishing of course! On Mirror Lake, fishing for rainbow trout.
Somebody put a lot of hard work into the snow tunnels at the edge of the lake. Our kids quite literally had hours of fun in these tunnels!
Handsome boy- 4 years old
Beautiful girl- 2 years old
We decided Santa needed some salty treats at our house!
Our first ever Christmas morning at our house!
These two adore each other and their relationship is the most amazing thing to watch develop
Ashton's skiing interest and skills really took off this winter. He would spend all day on the slopes if he could!
He took off up the tow rope without me on only his second day ever skiing here. Didn't even wait for me at the top either, started down all by himself.
We had a fun little weekend away at Otter Lake on JBER base. Fishing, skiing, relaxing
Our cute little cabin.
ski buddies
Josie kissin fishies
Her first time using her very own fishing pole!
Ashton baited his own hook and took the fish off the hook for the first time on this trip!
Our new favorite sledding run, on our new air tubes, at Hatcher's Pass. Ride or get pulled behind the snowmachine up, sled down, repeat
Gorgeous day for playing outside. Around 10 degrees I think!
Our best pup
Safety first, helmet and goggles
I took a girls' day trip to Alyeska with Brittany and Erin for day on the mountain. Skiis, snowboards, parking lot fire pit, and yummy drinks==perfect!
Love these ladies and all the memories we have made!
Ashton turned FIVE!! We celebrated with a dinosaur crown and popsicles with his daycare/preschool friends.
We celebrated with yummy special treats from our lovely neighbors Jim and Deb.
We celebrated with a dinosaur egg cake (with a dino inside.....I guess I didn't get a picture of it though) and dino egg cupcakes. We went to an open parking lot and let Ashton tear around on his 4-wheeler. He also got spoiled rotten by family, friends, and neighbors mailing and dropping off presents.
This is too cute not to share. Josephine and Brady, 2 years old and already busted being sweet on each other in the horse barn! These two are quite the pair!
I have more "wintery" photos but am sharing them in the next Spring time blog. That's because they were taken in April when it was suppose to be Spring but our snow and winter lasted forrrrrevvvvvver. We never have much of a fall or spring anyway, but this one drug on and on and ridiculously on!
