Roosevelt Lake 2008

-
The week of June 23rd was our annual trip to Roosevelt Lake with Grandpa John, Grandma Linda, and all of my brother's and sister's and their families. As usual, we had a GREAT TIME!

This was Jake's first time to the lake. As you can see in the picture he didn't let the water interfere with his nap time at all! Jacy had a blast swimming with her aunts, uncles, and cousins too! We got her a new floatation device that really helped her be able to swim on her own. It wrapped around her waist and had two arm floaties on it. She loved it and was a good little swimmer by the end of the week. It was the first time that we had REALLY used our new (old, but new to us) boat on the water. It ran great and made some fun (painful for some) memories of water skiing and tubing. Thanks Richardson family for such a fun week!!! We are already looking forward to next year!

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...

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!!!
