Making a time capsule

On this great Sunday afternoon, after a boxing championship game on the Wii, we started making our time capsules. Everyone is making their own envelope to open next Christmas. Jared made a great page of his favorite holiday with doug as a bobblehead chef who was going to cook his turkey dinner.

Weekend picnic in the park

After watching my niece in her swim meet we all had lunch and a game of tag in the park. All the other kids joined in and at one time there were about 15 players. It was fun for all! And the grass was GREEN. In October, in Alaska- UNHEARD of!!!

More Sunday in Talkeetna

I tried to catch the plane and the smiley face it had painted on it. I was practicing being the Vanna White of Alaska sightseeing, but I confess after the quick picture taking it was back to the heated seat for me!!!

Sunday in Talkeetna

It is a beautiful sunny day and we decided that we should take advantage of the sun and have Sean take his first peek at Denali. It got cold last night, but the sun is still warm so off we went. It isn't very often that you get a clear view of the summit. Denali/McKinley generates its own weather system so the top is almost always in clouds.
