The Easter Bunny Must be a Snowshoe Hare

Easter Fun with egg-coloring

Saturday morning egg hunt in the snow.

Easter Sunday before dinner.

Winter Fun

We like winter, which is no surprise since we choose to live in Alaska.  Here are some things we did last winter.

An early winter bike ride for Ryan.

Skiing with a buddy.

Glacier skiing with another friend.

Ice climbing at the glacier.

Still on the glacier.

Sledding.

Enjoying the sun with Brook.

And yes, hunting Easter eggs.

Kim and Glade got skis and enjoyed them.

We went ice fishing at Chena Lakes.  Yes, we are standing on the ice and even drove our van down onto it. Don't worry, it was over 4 feet thick.

Ryan and I (plus Brook) had a ski date off of Chena Hot Springs Road.

Winter is fun, but we aren't sad it is over.  It was kind of long this year.

Summer Fun

We have been busy this summer!  Here's a few random things we have been up too!

Building blanket forts

Doing the summer reading program from the library.  These are from a children's museum without walls activity that they had.

Glade patiently waiting for the presentation.

They had a musher come one week.  She brought a few dogs and some sleds that the kids loved.

Swimming lessons are always fun!  Go Glade!

Kim is getting to be quite the swimmer!

Seems like the lawn ALWAYS needs to be mowed!

We love to play at the park!

We have also enjoyed some wildlife this summer.  These were in our yard one night!

Summertime Fishing

We have gone on several family fishing trips this summer with mixed success.  The first was on the river.  We had a lot of fun, but no luck as far as fish are concerned.

We went to Twin Bears Lake a few weeks later and actually did catch a few fish.  Some of the kids decided they liked fish after all.  Fishing is a great family activity and it is fun to see the kids get into it.

Someone got wet!  :(

Let's Go Fly a Kite

We enjoyed a fun day of kite flying one windy day.   Look at this super-cute little guy!

Trying to get it up in the air!

Kids love to fly kites!

Mom helps keep it up in the air.

Still a little snow!

Another great picture of Glade.

Cute girl in her new little rain coat.
