Archery Shoot

Connor has taken up archery since our move to Alaska. He started with the Parks & Rec Saturday intro class and has shown a knack for hitting the target. One of the local instructors (Cesar) has helped Connor with his form and should have him ready for his first tournament in about 3 weeks. Cesar is the gentlemen on the left in the above photo.

Connor's friend, Evyn, has been visiting us from Louisville and he came along to give archery a try. As you can see, he was successful in disabling the fierce beast (ground squirrel).

Alaska Cadillacs

Loaded and ready to go in style.

Giant Snowman

Anchorage made national news this Christmas. A family in one of the neighborhoods has made a tradition out of building the largest "natural" snowman in town. It all started about 3-4 years ago and has continued to grow each year. We actually received a call from Oklahoma asking what the big deal was. Our Christmas adventure was to find out where and how big the snowman was. Take a look at the photos and judge for yourself. Merry Chirstmas.

More Photos from Ski Camp - Day 1 (Spencer)

Ski School

Christmas break. Nancy and I have signed the boys up for ski camp, not something you would normally think of being from Kentucky. Anyway, they seem to be having a blast their first day. Connor and Evyn are working on their boarding and Spencer continues to "melt the snow" as he says.

Winter Solstice

Well its finally here, the day all Alaskans look for; the Winter Solstice. The sun officially rose at 10:14am and set at 3:41pm (5 hours 27 minutes of daylight or lack there of). At least going forward the days will quickly become 24 hours of daylight.

Connor's best friend from Louisville has arrived for a visit during Christmas break. Evyn arrived via Alaska Airlines Saturday, December 20th. It didn't take the boys long to fall back in to their routine of video games and such. With our new location, the boys had other options to try as well. I have included a couple photos of the boys tubing at the local slope. Both agreed that it was a blast.
