Birthday Celebrations

Last evening we headed over to Kirsten's and Tim's place to celebrate Nicholas' birthday. I think it was a little overwhelming for him. Harlee was certainly into it all and would LOVE all of Nic's presents. Nicholas wasn't sure about the birthday cake, either. He got his fingers all stuck together with frosting and didn't like that. But liked the cake once he licked the frosting off his fingers.

Happy First Birthday, Mr Nicholas

This evening the family will be celebrating Nicholas' first birthday. Where has that first year gone?? He is no longer a baby, but a big boy with a mouthful of teeth and a towhead. And he is into everything and climbing onto everything. Anyway, nana thinks he is cute with his adorable toothy smile.

Creative Weekend

Have been able to actually scrap some this weekend and get a few pages cranked out.
Sickies around the Barrow household--Curtis woke up with some flu bug yesterday morning and Caitlin threw up most of the night. I just hope I can say no to this nasty flu bug. Fireworks started going off last night and then our power was out for a few hours through the night. Good reason to go to bed. How dependent we are on electricity.
Hope you enjoy my layouts of the grandbabies.

Fairbanks--June 18th

Our morning in Fairbanks was spent on a Riverboat tour--with a float plane landing beside us, seeing Susan Butchers famous sled dogs and visiting a Chena Native village. I believe I did laundry when we got back to the hotel. And then for the evening we visited North Pole, Alaska. We even got a visit in with Santa. A meal included in the package at a great Chinese restaurant.

Denali Park to Fairbanks--June17th

We still had a morning in Denali Park and Curtis and I decided to do a jet boat tour. Which took us for a ride down the river, a visit to a trappers cabin--with Fry Bread and hot Cocoa. Here we were also able to pan for gold and take what we got home with us. Later in the afternoon, we caught the train for a 4hour trip to Fairbanks.

Denali Park- June 16th

The next day was spent in Denali National Park. In the morning we had a tour into the park and then in the afternoon, Curtis and I took the shuttle to the Visitors Center. The little cabin is a trappers cabin with the dog cabins. And an Athabascan native. The siting of a Boreal Owl--you will have to look hard to find him--these are supposedly very rare!
