Noah's ptarmigan hunt

family ptarmigan hunt

Our kids have the hunting bug. They all love hiking now if it means they can hunt at the top.

sportin' THE socks!

The boys were troopers and stayed in AK while Savannah and I went on our trip so we brought them home some "Skyline" socks… they were pumped!

Girl TRIP!

My sweet parents flew us girls down to MT for a "girly weekend". Savannah loved all the time with her girl cousins- Bapak spoiled them a TON. And I loved the special time shopping and laughing with my sisters and mom! Thanks Bop 'n Nan!

Savannah got reading glasses!

Noah's 1st spruce HEN!

Noah got into fishing this summer so Kep thought maybe his little guy might enjoy hunting as well. The 2 of them went for a walk in our backwoods one Saturday morning and Noah came home with his first spruce hen! His smile says it all!

Alyeska Pond Crossing

OK- this has got to be the most random Labor Day weekend ever! Last minute, we went down to Alyeska for the weekend and we are so glad we did. Our boys decided they wanted to compete in the 3rd Annual Pond Crossing. They knew that only 1 person had biked across it successfully in the first 2 years but they were still game! We had prepared them for falling into the pond but Parker surprised us all… he got across the pond!!! He was the only one to cross it and he won a Fattire Cruiser bike! Haha! We still laugh that our 11 year old owns a Cruiser covered with Beer advertisements… the whitewalls say "Want a Beer?". Too funny. Noah is pumped that he got further than his dad!

North Face Hike 'n Tram Ride

The next morning, we woke up to a sunshiny morning so we hiked the North Face. It was a steep hike but just gorgeous!

Savannah had never been in the tram so she was one of the first up in order to get to our free ride down on the tram!
