Busy Weekend!

What a weekend this is turning out to be!  Adam headed out on his final voyage...  They are heading down to dry dock to get some much needed fix'n up for the boat, so will be there for a while. On that note, please be sure to keep Adam and the crew of the Long Island in your prayers for a safe trip to the yards.   It was sad to watch them go, but it also felt crazy that our time in Alaska is coming to an end.  It has gone so fast, and has been so wonderful!  It is not over yet though, still more to experience! 

On the note of more to experience, we headed from waving good bye over to the small boat harbor to watch the "Polar Plunge" to benefit those affected by the devastation fire.  It was so fun to watch everyone in their different costumes so excited and scared to jump into the freezing water.  The kids and I stood with the spectators and were happy to be bundled in our coats, gloves and hats!  Great job to those who jumped, but I'm happy to be watching. 

Enjoy the pictures!

The events started with a canoe tug of war between the Fire Fighters and the Coast Guard...  Coast Guard won!!!

I also finally took my sewing machine out of the box (I got it for Christmas) and attempted my first project!  Mariah loved it, and I was pretty proud it came out so well!  Just had to show the dress off;-)
