Fishing, hunting, 1st date, and school!

The end of summer weather has been good to us.  We've had regular walks, daily playing at the school playground, and playing on the beach!

We hiked this hill for the first time and it has the best view!  We were hoping for a plane to come in since the landing strip was so close.

Half way up!

Jack took Zax out fishing with Mark (who is in the picture) and another teacher, Brendan.

Primary time!  We are still figuring out how to engage the children this time of church.  I tried sitting inbetween them...

Then the next Sunday we tried headphones... Still figuring out how to keep them engaged.

Going on a Sunday walk and attire is never a question.  Wear what you want and no one bats an eye.

He loves to suck on rocks and drool out the dirt.  The beach though, we love it!

This baby comes back for hugs and snuggles, I love it!

Elim hosted a kids fun run before the cross country meet and had a great turn out!

Day date to the hotsprings!  First time ever in Elim someone watched our children while we went out together.  It was a dream come true and we plan on swapping with them regularly.

Jack's first kill ever!  We stopped along the way when Mark or his dog, Sadie, saw spruce hen to shoot. Jack got two.

Half way there.

Strapping the dead spruce hen to the four wheeler!

Mark is a true hunter.  He tore all the feathers off the spruce hens and threw it in the river so he didn't have to do it at home!

A cabin next to the hotsprings that smelt more like a hotbox. Just learned what that is, lol!

Curriculum finally arrived so this is our official first day of school picture.

Sticker charts are huge motivators in our house!

Two of the three ginormously heavy boxes I carried from the school!
The daylight is slowly becoming less.  The weather is now in the 40's as the high, summer is over.
