After 3:30pm we picked up DS's new bike in Wasilla......it was a beautiful day, we stopped here in Chugiak at a farmers market and tried Fireweed honey, DS loved it. When we got home we went for a bike ride, DS enjoyed riding on his BMW I call it while DD and I had the regular old bikes, and riding on roots in trail wasn't fun at all...so we took the road back and was much better. Did a bit more unpacking...it's a job that never ends.

| DS and his bike |
Friday not sure what we did, went down the road to look at a garage sale, just hung out did some stuff in town, cleaned up some more, DS rode his bike.
Saturday Aug 11th was the welcoming party at the base.....it started at 3pm, the kids didn't get up until almost 12 noon....it's going to be hard getting the bus at 6:45am on Aug 22 for DS and 8:30am for DD.
Around 2pm we picked up Christine, and headed to the base, it was a beautiful day for a party, I think it was the warmest day so far. Enjoyed a BBQ, hamburgers, hot dogs and all the fixings. It was nice getting to meet everyone, trying to remember names...which is really hard for me....but I think I remembered a few...=) The kids seem to fit right in ...there was no fights but one little boy got his finger stepped on...=(

We got home around 7pm ish....DD was sweating so she decided to go for a swim in the lake. It's really shallow for about half the lake, so she was glad I blow up the air mattress, and got her life jacket....I told her I wasn't jumping in to get her. DD did have a freak out when she tried to step down...and kept sinking....it's not a great swimming lake but my little fish didn't care. DS ended up going in a well, they had a bike recuse mission, an old little bike had some how, one day made it's way into the lake. All in all a great day in Alaska... =)

We have been talking to DH, he's 3 hours ahead in Oklahoma City, but he's having a great time, loving being back in the Radar world, and working on a plane, is his life long dream. There are 4 people on his course, two younger girls and a guy DH's age. So things are going not to bad for him, he's doing well on his tests, got 100% the other day.
I was watching Man v Food the other day and they had a place in Oklahoma City, called Steak and Catfish so I told Carlisle would have to go and eat there...so he's planning one day to head there for dinner.
Today if the kids get up we are planning to go to Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center
but it's 10:15am and they are not getting up, I tried to wake them up already....so it maybe a late day trip.... =)
Well have a great Sunday everyone thanks for stopping by to read our one of many adventures in Alaska...take care Richelle
