Having fun on a cold day... inside

Connor and Gavin have made a slide in the house using the total gym. They push the seat all the way up and then continually slide down. Thought that they were having so much fun laughing, I would get a picture of them.

Playing out in the snow

These pictures were about a month ago, walking to the post office. The boys decided to play hit the can with their sticks and just have some good old fun.

Doly varden

After ice fishing for a few minutes, a doly varden was caught. This is a pretty neat looking fish with it pink dots. Since it was caught in fresh water, the name is Doly Varden. But if the fish came from the ocean, it would be called an Arctic Char. Any questions??

A FULL FOUR WHEELER!

I know you can't see everyone on the four wheeler, but there is a total of 9 on it. 3 adults and 6 kids. It was an extremely full ride.

Halloween Costumes

Connor and Gavin had a ball getting to choose their costumes and then also wear them. Gavin is so small and didn't have the choices like Connor did. All we could find for Gavin was small, cute, and cuddly. Gavin wanted something a little scary so as you can see, he was a big and mean tiger. Connor took a long time deciding what to be. He finally decided on the jungle fury power ranger. They both had a great time walking around trick or treating.

Final product--- Jack-o-lanterns

As you can see, even in the Alaskan Bush, we carve pumpkins. We put a lot of thought into the designs and faces since they cost so much. Each of these pumpkins were around 25 dollars each for a medium pumpkin. But the tradition and family time easily takes over the total cost. The first pumpkin is Gavin's "Stitch" pumpkin. Connor's was "Pokemon." Ron's was the pirate skull. Mine was the hairy spider. Hope you enjoy!

Gutting the pumpkin

Connor, Gavin, and Ron had a great time getting slimed while pulling out all the seeds and pulp of the pumpkins.
