It's hard to justify spending time in a theater in Alaska during our short summertime, but watching a play at one of our local drama theaters in the wintertime is a great way to spend an evening. Here, Jolene and Grayson catch a selfie at the local showing of "Newsies".
Grayson said it was his favorite that he's seen so far, and we've been to quite a few. I stayed home this time, since I am still on crutches, and Landon stayed with me as he's nursing a sore hamstring from racing in X-country skiing this weekend.
We haven't posted our super wolf blood lunar eclipse photos yet, so here's one we took with the smaller camera. Jolene's larger camera has some we haven't downloaded yet. Within the last year, we've watched a very active meteor shower, crazy bright northern lights, and now the eclipse, all visible from the back deck.
Landon won the boys Anchorage Skiathlon open division skate ski race on Saturday, coming in first out of 15 racers!
The unique medals they handed out were made from birch tree cross sections.
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, Grayson spent Saturday as a judge for our church's Chilly Willy competition.
He has a natural talent for judging all kinds of foods.
And it gave him a chance to sport his Texas cowboy hat and boots!
But he ended up in jail. This time it was for wearing his hat at the dinner table (because he didn't want to take it off)! What a rebel!
Landon has been giving various BPA presentations around the area. He's the State President for Alaska BPA this year, and will be attending the National Leadership Conference in Anaheim, CA later this year.
Some leftover pics from December. Before Christmas we went to a local showing of "Miracle on 34th Street", which was a great performance.
Grayson had considered trying out, but decided not to, but some of his friends were the children characters in the play.
Even further back, in early December, here's us watching the Army-Navy game. At that time we still had no tv's due to the earthquake, so we streamed the game on the only device we could, which was our iMac (which itself has a cracked screen due the earthquake, but it worked - kinda). Luckily, we didn't miss much this year, as it seems Navy is still giving Army some wins so that the Army folks don't feel too bad about themselves ;)
At the 2 week point after surgery, I traded my plaster cast for a fiberglass one. I'll be in a cast for about ~5 weeks it looks like, before I can start to move the foot.....then another month or so before I can put full weight on it. Longer rehab than expected, but I guess I don't heal as fast as I used to.
Grayson's robotics team won their regionals and went to State, but unfortunately at State they didn't qualify for nationals this year. Maybe next year.
