Snowmobil'n

This weekend Adam was able to rent some snowmobiles for some fun in the snow!  He went out with a friend on Saturday, but the kids put in a request for a ride on Sunday.  It was funny to see the kids in the giant helmets, but they wore them with excitement as they went on their rides! 

 

 She looked like she could tip over at any minute!

This picture is from last week.  You can finally see our drive way after a lot of ice chipping through out the week, but we got another foot or more of snow over the weekend so it is gone again... 

Professional Artist!

Our kids artwork is hanging in a museum!  Yeap, we are very proud of our little artist!  The whole truth is their preschool classes had their art work displayed, but I'm pretty sure our kids are one of the best!!

The temperamental artist!

Ice Cave

Today we went back to the Ice Cave below the Valdez Glacier! It was awesome and a lot of fun with the group that went.  It was nice to go with other families and hike out to see and explore!  This year there was a block of ice carved out of it, apparently for a Coors Light commercial, it was pretty neat to see, but I'm not so sure it was necessary after viewing the commercial.  But we got some fun pictures inside with the kids, though! 

Still more snow

We have gotten over 4 feet of snow in the last week...  I thought spring was suppose to be here, but not yet.  Adam made it home this week thank goodness, we had really been missing him.  We have had a fun day of playing in the snow.  I made sure to take lots of pictures with the thought in mind that this may be our last snow storm in Alaska. 

Playing hide and seek around snow piles!



 



They found a snow fort!

This is why Dad is cooler than Mom...  Using the roof as a slide was too much fun!



 

Ponzi wanted in on the action! 

Cooper's turn!



More Snow...

So that grass I spoke of last posting is long gone.  In the last 2 days we have gotten another 2 feet of snow.   I'm ready for Adam to get home, it is a lot of work moving that much snow!

 

 Yesterday afternoon we were back up to the 6ft mark.

 

 This morning we were at the 7 ft. mark, with snow still falling.

 

 My second day of snowblowing!  Thank goodness for our snowblower!

 

 Not perfect, but good enough!

 

Pictures!

 

Ponzi found some grass on our walk!  

 

 There is still plenty of snow on the ground, but it is starting to melt!

The snow slide is get fast since the snow is melting and freezing daily.  It is more of an ice slide now...

 

 Mariah is on the hunt for icicles! 

 

The parking lot at church has become an ice rink.  We did make it across without falling though!

We are having a beautiful day in Valdez!  The kids got up to an early start and it turned out to be great so we could soak up the sun early on in the morning.  Enjoy the pictures!

Climbing up the snow slide!

 

 Made it to the top!

Still plenty of snow on the ground.  Cooper could walk across our front yard and touch the top of the stop sign without a problem, but there is plenty of melting going on since it is almost 40 degrees today!
