May 1, 2009 "Signs of Spring"

Tim and the girls got the 4-wheeler out. When enough of the snow has melted, the transition from snowmachines (snowmobiles) to 4-wheelers begins. Natalie loved the ride more than her face shows.



The main road through Glennallen on the right. There is usually a little creek that goes under the road. Spring thaw produces some flooding. Our Wrangell mountains in the background.





Natalie enjoys her backpack rides. We went on a little "excusion" this morning to check out the flooding in our "creek." The creek goes behind our house. We can hear the roar from our windows.











Sunbathing beauties in Alaska! Notice the snow still on the ground.







It was 25 degrees for the low this morning. The ice crystals along the creek are beautiful.






Wahsed out driveway that Jess had to check out.





Yesterday it was close to 70 and today it's suppose to get around 66 degrees.

  1. I love it!!! So glad you've started a blog so we can follow along what your family is up to and see Alaska! Still looks pretty chilly up there :) I'm glad my kids aren't the only "mud monsters" around...maybe we should join them?!? Mud treatment is good for the skin, right? Natalie looks great too- I love those big blue eyes of hers!
    Love,
    Katie
