to all of Ella's far-away friends & family

Common sites at our house...Dishes, moose & kids playing outside! Here, Owen is watching a moose as I wash dishes & the kids are playing outside in the dark with friends.

Ella's class has been studying Alaska this year. Here is one of her recent writings...

Alaska
The best thing about living in Alaska is all the boating and fishing.
The bad thing about living in Alaska is sometimes it is too cold to do a lot of that.
The good thing about living in Alaska is there is not a lot of daylight in the winter so you can go to sleep easily.
The bad thing about Alaska is there's a whole lot of daylight in the summer so it is hard to go to sleep.
The worse thing about Alaska is the cold weather.
One thing that is good about when it is really cold, you don't sweat or get too warm.
A great thing about Alaska is we get a whole lot of snow.
The not so good thing about snow is when it gets warm and the snow turns to ice.
The great thing about Alaska is all the animals you kill and fill your freezer with.
The bad thing about living in Alaska is the animals like moose are so big they fill your whole entire freezer.
Another good thing about Alaska is in the summer there is a lot of daylight to see all the amazing scenery.
The bad thing about Alaska is you can't see all the beautiful sites in the winter because...it is so dark.

The good thing about Alaska is, I live here!
The bad thing about Alaska is you don't.
So what are you waiting for? Why don't you come and join me!
