Our summer so far...









Wow, it's been a long time since I've been on here. We have had a very eventful summer so far. We spent some time with the Gerber-Meyers up in Tok. We spent our time fossil hunting (thanks Vince), viewing Carrie's elaborate garden and just hanging out. We had a great time visiting with them, but I have to say nothing beats out our experience in Muklukland, the main attraction in Tok. I have never seen anything more creepy in my entire life. I only wish I had pictures to show, but I forgot my camera and nobody wanted to venture back for a second day. Let's put it this way, any place that has a small cabin filled with 5000 creepy old broken dolls, rabbits feet littering the ground (with the leg bones still attached) and broken down vehicles as main attractions is not a place where fun is to be had. We adults spent the majority of the time staring at each other stunned. Needless to say, we will not be going back, no matter how old and delapidated the put-put is!








The kids got their new 4-wheeler, so they have had fun with that.








We treked up to Fairbanks to visit with family. We enjoyed drives on the mini-bikes, badminton games and time spent with the family.








We had a month full of birthdays, starting with Gabes (he just turned 5), Your truly (I just turned 28...or as Cory likes to call it "almost 30") and Laurens 10th birthday, complete with a spa party.








Since we have been back we started a garden at the community garden. It is the ghetto garden since mom has a black thumb, but so far so good. It won't be anything like Carrie's, but hopefully it will produce something!
