Meggers

I took this at 5am after taking Jason to work.I loved how Meg had covered herself up and fallen asleep.

Here is a pic of Meghan, I took the other day. We think it's cute because she looks( for lack of a better word) Stoned. We were outside, and it's so hard to get her to stop for even a second to take a pic, so I picked her up and got this one.

These are taken with the cell phone as the other camera has broken to awnser POP's question. I do really want to get the playground shots up, But 1 post at a time. On a side note is is beautiful up here, sunny and 75.;=)

So they had a great article on how to make a quick bow. so off to find so straight staves and a few zipties and some Paracord and I now have new tool. Now to learn to make arrows. Yes it shoots rather well and they are rather easy to make.

Okay, So it broke already.Major Bummer. So we are back to the cell phone thing for now.I hope to post some pics from the cell phone later today/tomorrow of our trip to the park yesterday.I need Jason's help with that.

Things are going all right otherwise. The girls and I are having a bit of trouble adjusting to the , it never gets dark thing. It's only been doing this about 2 weeks, so I know it will get better.And I seem to be getting bit the most by the mosquitoes. Big surprise there seeing as I have always been a magnet for them.

We are seeing lots of Moose, Rabbits and Birds these days. And the weather has been great.Only rained on 2 occasions since we have been here. A big change from Washington springs. We have also noticed the sun is way more intense here. Just seems a lot brighter.

The 24.95 Digital Camera

This is Ester Dome Road South of town. Ah the Road repair begins....This is where I had to turn around. A WEEEEE bit Hairy

Pass The Pipeline

It has become our weekly Ritual to go for drives on Monday. This week we went North out of Fairbanks and stopped at the Chatanika(Said CHA-TAN-IKA)River. I have to say that even 20 Mile outside of Fairbanks is like being in the middle of Nowhere. Oh, Ya It is the Middle of Nowhere. I have to say that there is a stillness that would shake The most venerable Bhuddist Master. Its is and Unsettling yet liberating feeling of aloneness that one can ever feel. Standing on the edge of a vast wilderness. Ya We are there. Yet that fragments of mans dependence is also there. The Alaska Pipeline starts in Prudhoe Bay, AK and end in Valdez Alaska. It Runs along the Dalton / Elliott highway and can be seen upclose from several rest stops. Oil is EXTREMELY important to Alaskans. It is the main source of revenue for the state. Second bieng Commercial fishing and Third Tourism.

Moose Running

So we have had a great time trying to take pictures of our Friends the moose. Here are the best pictures of da Mooses and The tired Moose Runners. Can You find the mooses?
