Jacy's Dance Performance

-
In February Jacy starting taking a dance class offered by a young girl in our neighborhood. She has really enjoyed it and loves the time she gets to dance with her friends. Last night was their performance. It was held in the driveway of the dance teacher's house and all the parents set up lawn chairs in the grass. The theme was 80's! SO FUN! All the girls looked so cute and did an AWESOME job! Jacy's age group danced to the songs, "Oh Mickey (you're so fine)" and "Hit me with your best shot". They girls got to be creative and come up with their own costumes. I had a great time making Jacy's puffy tu-tu! After the performance we had a pot luck dinner and got to visit with friends. I had forgotten to get Jacy some flowers. When her performance was over she said, "Boy, I wish I had flowers", so we took her to the store and let her pick out her own! She did such an awesome job and we are so proud of her! You Rock My Little 80's Diva!

LOVE YOU JACY!

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!!!
