April in Alaska



Here is our Pioneer Club 3-6th grade earning our hiking badge on the Spit. My best friend Kathy has a small 3/4 class and I have 19 5/6th graders. We have a lot of fun. This week, we are planning our annual camp-in, tents and all.




Karl and Clayton riding together

















The Beachy's came and spent the day with us. While the mom's scrapped, the kids went sledding, played LEGOS and rode snow machines.
What a great way to spend Spring Break.



Karl and his hockey buddies (Asa, Josh and Luke) are out for just one more ride before the season ends.









If you look closely, you can se Karl and Pete snowmachining at the bottom of the ravine, while Mt. Redoubt is going off in the background. The volocano has given us quite a lot of excitement, with bursts of ash covering our snow from time to time.











Kirsten is loving choir and band at the high school this year. She just finished the huge production of "GODSPELL". She was one of the main singers, and even got to do a little soft shoe dancing.


Bowling with 5/6th grade Pioneer club was a lot of fun. We had 16 people turn out and a couple of mom's as well.


















Claire and her friend, enjoy hanging out for the day during spring break, a welcome break from school.
This the the cabin that we wish we could afford to buy out at Caribou Lake. We can get on our snow machines and get out to the lake in about 40 minutes, right from our house. Alas, maybe someday



















Here it is April and we still are going sledding one more time. Claire is out for an afternoon ride on her (and her sister's 550). Luckily all of us love to snow machine (please do not embarass yourself by saying snowmobile in Alaska...ha!) Lenore is getting in on the fun as well.
