Summer in Fairbanks

Summer in Fairbanks is busy and hot. The first two sets of pictures are of Slater hanging out with his buddy Jessica, they did fingerpainting at our house one day and then painted tepee's at Jessica's house the next day.

We went to a pig roast last weekend and Slater helped to make the Pig Cupcakes, well he mostly eat marshmallows.

The last slide is from Chena Lakes. We have been going out once a week in the morning with friends and enjoying the water. Slater gave us a scare the first day by running and falling into the deeper water. I fished him out really quick, but it must have been a good laugh for everyone to see a rather pregnant lady and a toddler both soaked to the bone (I can laugh now). Since then he has been a little more cautious and I have been grateful. Wade and Slater went out in a kayak, but I didn't get any pictures.

Tepee Joy

Grandma made me a cool tepee and we have it set up in the living room on rainy days. We had a painting party at my friend Jessica's and mostly painted each other but a little got on the tepee's too.

A trip to Anchorage

In late April Wade attended a conference in Anchorage for a program at school, since the conference was all day Friday, Robyn and I took time off and flew down on Thursday for a long weekend with friends and family. We attended a birthday party for Hannah Yi at Bouncing Bears. It was a blast, we all had fun the slides were really cool, Slater was fearless on them and we took home an exhausted boy. We stayed with our friends Laura and Erik, visited the Anderson's and explored the zoo with 8 kids and 7 adults, quite the troop. It was a good trip, Slater thought the plane flights were fun, especially all the activity outside.
