My Summer Vacation

Last summer at Toolik Lake was the best summer of my life...
...and this summer in Fairbanks was the best summer of my life. I just wish it wouldn't go by so fast.


Gareth is back from his summer down under just in time for school to start next week. He didn't waste any time to turn his mountain bike into a motorbike!


picked wild blueberries





and made some jam


shared many good times with some good people


picked and ate some of the tastiest mushrooms


that we hunted and gathered in the neighborhood birch forests





took a nice hike with Lisa to Smith Lake


made rhubarb jam


Chris showed me how to peel logs





for the new construction project


said goodbye to a friend


grew our own in Simon's greenhouse



saw the state fair


played a few rounds of frisbee golf at Birch Hill

and, well summer's not over yet--there's still more stuff to do!
