The Snow

The winter has seemingly been mild this year, but we have still seen a lot of snow...this makes building snowforts, walking the dog (he wears boots if very cold) and clearing paths great fun.
On a clear day we can see the Alaskan Range, which is covered with snow now.






Rory's Model of the US

Rory had to make a salt dough map of the US for a school project...
it was so fab, we had to show everyone!


More Amazing Sunsets

We are so happy to have a view from our house...the scenery changes all the time depending on the weather. With the winter light ,we have seen some spectacular evening skies.


Andrew in Court!


Andrew is taking a Law Studies elective at school and the class got the opportunity to go to the Anchorage High Court and carry out a trial.
It was a great experience as the Judge was there guiding them through the whole trial.
Here he is carrying out the questions as prosecutor.
