Happy Birthday Alex!
We started the day with cinnamon rolls and oatmeal and went downtown for a delicious sushi dinner.




 Who's taller? Not today Alex! (probably tomorrow though)

SHC Episode 3

Kaxdigoowu Heen Dei  also known as the Brotherhood Bridge Trail. There are actually three paths along the way, the paved walking trail, a horse trail, and a hiking trail that winds around through the woods, but never too far from the main trail.  The trail is nicely paved and mostly flat. It starts off through the meadow with a view of Mendenhall Glacier.  Our friends joined us again this week, the 4 older boys are once again forging ahead.  After the meadow the trail winds through the woods and over a river. We found this pretty little robin shell beside the trail.

DiPAC and Sealaska

Field trips in a new town are extra fun. I'm grateful I was able to join Mady's class on two field trips this month. First up was DiPac Salmon Hatchery . The salmon ladder had a few unintended users.   After watching the interlopers/opportunists, we were able to tour the facility and saw the giant tanks full of salmon fry, the touch tanks, aquarium, and the hands on salmon. Next up was a trip to the Walter Soboloff Building and the Sealaska Heritage Institute. We were given a quick tour and then we heard stories and songs from the Tlingit, Haida, and Tsimshian Peoples.

Early October Fun

Phil was out of town, so I took the kids bowling and to Mexican for my birthday.    Definitely not anyone's best game(s). The lanes have some strange tilts and curves...we'll have to try to adjust. The ice rink had a sponsored free skate. The entry fee was a suggested donation of a towel or pillow. Hockey practice has improved Zachary's skating skills.   Mady was more timid and liked sitting on the hockey bench.   Alex was zipping around, and hard to catch.   More random waterfalls have formed on the mountainside.   Salmon bake at Mady's school.   More building. The first dusting of snow on our mountain.
