Fairbanks Trip - May 28-30, 2017

May 28, 2017 - Driving north to North Pole / Fairbanks. Stopped at the playground in Talkeetna and at the Veterans Memorial outside Denali State Park.


May 29, 2017 - The Santa Claus House, Pioneer Park and hanging out with Auntie Beth and Nick.




May 30, 2017 - Driving south again via Glennallen and Glacier View. Checked out the pipeline along the road and watered plants and played legos in Glacier View.

Kincaid Park - May 23, 2017

James wanted to go mountain biking at Kincaid Park and we wanted to play in the Sand Dunes there. The kids had to carry their buckets and shovels on the "hike". (Malachi Ray came along)

We played in the sand until James finished his ride. Then Lincoln ran behind the bike back to the truck and I gave Meta a lift.
James had to ride to the sand dunes with us because Lincoln was running right behind his bike and Meta doesn't walk fast enough for us to keep up.

One time, James stopped the bike and Linc was so close behind that Linc ran into the bike tire.

Lincoln says he wants to bring his bike to ride the trails. We told him training wheels aren't allowed on the trails, so he needs to learn to ride without them. He's thinking about that. I'll bet he's training wheel free before the end of the summer.

Mother's Day - May 14, 2017

Chocolate fondue (white and milk chocolate) with strawberries, blueberries, pineapple, graham crackers, mini marshmallows, and pretzels. Delicious!

JJGang in Talkeetna - May 7, 2017

Playing at the playground and throwing rocks into the river. Lincoln hit an "iceberg" with a rock after trying and trying and trying. Awesome!

Point Woronzoff - April 25, 2017


James and the kids went out to Point Woronzoff for an explore while I had a YW presidency meeting. Looks like (cold) fun!

Cardboard box sledding - March 27, 2017

At the elementary school near our apartment. It worked surprisingly well on the packed snow. Whoo hoo!
