Everyone here has been keeping well. Nathan came down with a gastrointestinal infection last week while Alex was in Moose Jaw playing hockey. It wasn't fun for either party involved. He is much better now and back to his old self. Here he is sleeping with Java. He likes to lay down with her when he's not feeling well.
Other than that, we are awaiting the eruption of
Mount Redoubt. It has been dormant for 20 years. Geologists are expecting an eruption, but there is no prediction when it will happen, if it will happen. So we're keeping to a regular schedule an going about our business as usual. I think we're prepared, so let's keep our fingers crossed.
Here is our tubing platform. Here in the winter months, the Canadian Component holds an annual winter carnival. This year they kicked it off with some tubing at Hillberg Ski Hill. It was a blast. We never took Nathan, as we weren't sure how he would handle it. Maybe next year. Also we went on a horse drawn sleigh ride with 18 other Canadians. Nathan fell asleep shortly after the sleigh left the driveway. He then woke up maybe 2 minutes before the ride ended. It was nice. We got to see some of the country side and snuggled up under some warm blankets.
