Hello Family!
A great big congratulations to Brian, Mel and crew for his new job and their big move to North Carolina! Was hoping for something a bit more westerly, but I am happy for them none-the-less!!
Emily attended the UAF volleyball camp and had a GREAT time. Each day they selected a "camper of the day" based on sportsmanship, teamwork, enthusiasm and effort. There were 40 girls in the camp and she was chosen on the third day. Super excited! She is now in a tennis camp - less thrilling, but good exercise and a way to make new friends.
We went camping at Tangle Lakes last weekend...
here are Kendra, Emily, Kara, Cole and Caleb
Cooper and Ringo, too!
The next day was too good to pass up so Emily, Laura, Morgan and I headed out to Chena Lakes. The girls have climbed up on a huge tree stump that drifted into the swimming area.
Stormy turns 9. Her birthday gift was a catnip refill in this little stuffed mouse.
She played with it so much she exhausted herself out :)
Another beautiful day called for a float trip on the Chena River.
Emily and Morgan pose.
So, this is a foot bridge over the river near Pioneer Park.
It is a popular jumping off spot.
As we approached the bridge (during our float)
we watched a couple of dare-devils leaping off into the river.
The girls, of course, wanted to try.
Laura and I sporting the YOLO attitude said "Why not? Go for it"
They did and then SO DID WE... IT WAS AWESOME!!!!!
This is a picture of Em and Morgan climbing over...
This is Emily in mid-jump!
We have video of the girls and the moms jumping, but they are not cooperating for this blog :(
There was lots of screaming!
Finally, nature in action... 6 baby ptarmigan walking along the neighborhood street.
We are loving our weather and time with good friends.
Missing you all so much!
Lots of love,
Kristy, Caleb and Emily
