More Winter Fun

We had an amazingly "warm" weekend this past weekend with temperatures around 30 degrees! So, of course, we had to get out and enjoy it. We headed out Friday after school and spent Friday night camping, followed by a morning of drinking coffee, reading, snowshoeing (me) and cutting wood (Michael). Saturday afternoon, we headed home and had a beautiful, sunny ride home.

My logger man (it was "warm," remember?!):

No, that's not a nude-colored shirt :).

The ride home:

We woke up on Sunday and it was another gorgeous day. We decided our lesson plans could wait and that heading out and enjoying the weather was more important. So, Michael and I and our friend Charlotte headed up the river. I did some more snowshoeing and Michael threw on his snowshoes and .22 and hiked around looking for rabbits.

Snowshoeing (notice all of the animal footprints around me):

We went out across the water when we headed out snowshoeing, to the Noatak River. You can see the trail that we took down the middle of the picture. (We take the same trail to camp.) That's me on my snow machine down there!

Just another day in the life in the Arctic!
