Visa Run to Vancouver

We had to go to Vancouver to renew our American visas in August. We drove up to Whistler and really enjoyed the mountain town.

Rory found a chocolate factory!

Our Camping Adventure-July

We went camping with a few families over the summer and had a great time.

Lots of laughs, good food, outdoor fun and beautiful scenery....and it only rained when we were taking the tent down!

Here we are playing games around the campfire..

On our hike to Lost Lake-what a view

Busy chopping wood..

Our new tent!

Trip to the Museum

Rory and his friend Arthur went to the museum to see the Mammoth exhibition...they had a great day!

Here is Rory in a giant bubble!

Hunting season is over!

This photo was taken on the last weekend of the hunting season- avid hunters getting their last kill in before the season end. This photo shows the antlers of a bull moose sitting on the back of the truck as it drove down the highway. Another only in Alaska photo!

The snow is coming!

I cannot believe that it is time for the snow to come again....where has the year gone?

This will be our third winter here in Alaska , so are now seasoned locals!

New Schools

Andrew started at South High School this year and will be in 9th grade.

Rory started at Goldenview Middle School and will be in 7th grade.

Andrew's Football

Andrew played football for the South Anchorage High School C team this year.....I never thought my son would end up playing American Football!

He played in defense and wore number 70 shirt.

Here he is with his friend Spencer after a game....


They have to wear their 'football blazers' to school on Fridays-very smart!
