Zooming for Susitna Students

Today Chris took his classes on a Zoom Paddle. It was a fun way to show them the fun of kayaking without needing to bus them all there. I was a great day for a paddle. Can you spot the eagle?

Alana and Ryker hooked onto my kayak and I got an extra arm work out paddling them around.

Wonderful Mothers day!

It was a wonderful Mother's day! I enjoyed a late morning and then snuggling with Alana as she told me about the book she is reading followed by a long uninterrupted jacuzzi tub soak. We went for a family drive and saw some moose. We video chatted with Grandma Susan and the whole Moss clan. Chris made us Steak Oscar followed by ice cream for dessert. I have the best family! Herb scissors, a kite and a rocking camp chair were among the presents as well as foot scrub Alana learned to make in class (thanks to Mrs. Senchantixay) and she tried it out on Chris and I. ❤️❤️

Harvest

Here is the potato plants almost as tall as Alana. We dug out the potatoes today and we ended up with  this small bucket. We have Yukkn Golds and purple potatoes. I will count it as a win for growing our own potatoes but I hope next year we can plant earlier so we can harvest more.

Pyrah’s Fall Festival

We had a great time at the Pyrah’s Fall Festival! They have fun family games and rides! Plus with all the rain this year they had puddles of fun too! FYI water splashes and gets your legs wet when you jump in it and when there is a slight breeze it is freezing!! Ryker has cold hands so I did a Mr. Miyagi to warm them up and realized my kids had not seen it. (Gasp!!) We ended the day by watching The Karate Kid.

Beach Lake Trails - First Ski of the Season

We continued on with the snow fun and went skiing today with Greg.

Sledding with the Lucas'

We finally have some good snow! We had a great time sledding with the Lucas family at Eagle River Town Square Park. Jeanette brought Hot Chocolate that was delicious!
