Camping in Eureka

We went to Eureka this weekend and had a good time even though it rained most of the time. Got a chance to make some cinnamon rolls in the new coleman oven, works great. Here are a few pics from the weekend.

Road trip

Jen and I took a road trip this weekend across the Denali Highway. We drove 524 miles and took a few pictures. We saw a lot of Caribou, a few moose and some awesome views. Here are a few of the pictures.

We have been invaded!!!

So we have been invaded by 30 girls from the Kodiak Cross Country team.  There is a state meet here called the twilight run, it is an invitational to all the schools and community across Alaska for cross country.  The teams all wear the same colored shirts and run in different races.

Well this year they were not very well organized and several schools showed up with out a place to stay for the night before the race.  Since Krista is friends with Hannah (Kodiak's XC coaches daughter) Hannah called and asked if the girls could sleep here.  Of course Dave and I said yes.  The poor boys got stuck in a gym some where.

They are all a great group of girls and they were a joy to have, just always find it interesting to observe the different dynamics with in a large group of girls.

They leave today at noon and the house will be quiet again ha ha ha.

Krista has her first race tonight, hope she does good!!!

Todays update

Well Ashley started a new job while she awaits for the official Air Force date. She says she likes it a lot better than her old job. Krista started cross country today, and she said it was fun, so the coach didn't run them enough. lol Jen and Kodiak just worked all day and I drove around in the copper river basin doing my COOP weather stuff. We still are trying to get all the vacation pics uploaded into a movie, so hang tight. Anyway here are some we have taken from around here this last week. Take care.
