Nussbaum Foreman Outing







Kodiak is known for its rain, but May was beautiful.  We had so much wonderful weather and were able to get out a lot.  This particular day we headed out for an adventure with our wonderful friends the Nussbaums.  We went to Spruce island visited the chapels there and also went to Ouzinkie.  Of course we ate wonderful Salmon burgers and watermelon, sooooo good!  There were lots of bees that decided to visit us on the island so we had to get in the boat and head out on the water to actually eat the watermelon.  
Stephen and I love to sing with Ted and Kathy so I added one of our little videos of this.  Enjoy!

wyldlife 2009



So it's been a year already and Stephen and I found ourselves back on Woody Island for wyldlife.  We loaded a boat with 100 other 7th and 8th graders and adults for 30 crazy hours.  We did a little bit of everything and overall had a wonderful time.  I got 4 hours of sleep that night much more than Stephen's 45 minutes.  Praise the Lord for His sustaining strength!  I hope you enjoy all the pictures! wyldlife 2009

It's Warm!!


Puffin Island 
Kelp Bed 
Beautiful snowy mountains that will hopefully be green soon!  It's amazing that they actually get all green. 
It's warm dance!  

IT WAS WARM!!!!  Really it almost felt hot!  Stephen and I walked out of the house and down to the ocean without even thinking about being cold!  Oh, it was wonderful!  We went kayaking to Puffin Island, explored it and then kayaked around some more before heading back to Kodiak.  Then we took the dogs for a little hiking adventure, but there was still snow and we found ourselves sliding around much more than we wanted to.  

Stephen is almost finished with his second Master's class of the semester so he had to work on his final.  I did the grocery shopping and then we grilled out!  Oh, what a perfect little day.  It is so amazing how just one nice day can make you forget all the cold rainy ones. 

But because we played a lot today, tomorrow will be a busy one.
