Easter 2007

-
As usual, we had a great Easter weekend camping near Roosevelt Lake. We went camping with Grandpa John and Grandma Linda and the rest of the Richardson gang (We misssed you Jennifer and unfortunately the picture was taken after Justin's family had already left)! We always have a lot of fun when we get together with the Seagle and Baker family's! Although this was Jacy's 3rd Easter, it was the first one that she really participated in. She had a great time on the Easter Egg hunt with her cousins. She didn't totally get the concept... instead of putting new eggs in her basket, she would find an egg and then take out all the eggs from her basket to put them next to the new egg that she had found on the ground! Either way, she still had a great time! The Easter Bunny brought Jacy a basket filled with books, chocolate easter eggs, and animated DVD's with scripture stories!!!

She also got a basket from Grandpa and Grandma that was filled with candy, toys, puzzles, and a little doll that she loved to smooch on! What a lucky girl she was!

Native Drums

For the past 6 weeks Jayne's class (all the 4th and 5th graders) at school have been working with a resident artist learning about the  Tlingit (KLING kit), the Haida (HIGH duh) and the Tsimshian (SIM she ann) native tribes of Southeast Alaska. They have learned how to introduce themselves in the native tongue. They have learned about the art and form styles used in totems and the meanings behind the symbols. They even had the opportunity to make a deer skin drum (Goo-jow), including soaking the deer skin and stretching it over the wood drum frame and letting it set until it hardened. Once it was completely dry they got to draw their chosen native symbol on the drum and the paint it. They look SO COOL! They even made their own drum stick using a stick, fabric, buck leather, and deer tendon, which was used as the string to tie it all together. This past week the students performed for the rest of the school, singing a song/chant in the native tongue. It is a welcome message...

Whale Watching

This weekend was BEAUTIFUL weather!!!  We have all been feeling a little under the weather, but we have made sure to get outside a little each day.  On Saturday we were fortunate enough to be downtown by the cruise ships docks and caught a few glimpses of a humpback whale!  When they bubble feed you can see a ring of bubble start to surface on the water and then they come straight up the center with open mouths to feed.  It is so cool to see them!  They are really big!  Sunday afternoon was a nice drive to all the great spots that we love to view the ocean from.  It was a gorgeous sunset!  Someday I still can't believe that we live here!!!
