Happy Easter

The MFRC held a children's Easter Party this past Sunday, of which we attended. Nathan enjoyed himself immensely. He was a little pre-emptive on the easter egg hunt. He would follow the person hiding the eggs and pick them up right away. Couldn't put any on the ground or he would grab them before the hunt started. Needless to say, he ended up with a couple eggs, and there were still plenty for the other children. He had a great time decorating Easter cookies, coloring, playing with friends and stuffing his face.


Here he is playing with his stash of goodies.

March Madness

We've had a somewhat busy month thus far. I was able to go dog sledding with some of the Canadians up in Willow, Alaska. It was a blast and I would recommend it to anyone visiting here in the winter time.

We also had the opportunity to attend an Alaska Aces hockey game. Nathan hadn't napped yet that day and it was around 3pm. Eating popcorn gave him some solice.

We ventured out one Saturday morning to watch the Fur Rondy parade. The Fur Rondy is an annual winter festival that kicks off the beginning of the Iditarod dog sled race. I also took Nathan to the winter carnival that was going on through the week of the festival. It was kinda cold to be on rides for longer than 15 minutes. Can you ever say you've been on carnival rides in your snowsuit?

We took Nathan and 2 of his friends, Alex and Tyler to the Imaginarium. It is a hands on science centre. It's not very large, but there are a lot of things for the kids to do. They all seemed to have a great time.

It's been a fun filled month with only more fun to come. Please check out our photos for more pictures.
