Happy Leap Day!


We went snowboarding at Eaglecrest on Monday, here is the view from the lift. It is a pretty nice place to ski/snowboard. A bit smaller than mountains down south, but much cheaper and I never have to wait in line for the lift! Brian has been snowboarding since he was 8, so he is quite a bit better than I am. But we have fun. I do tend to get a little frustrated at myself sometimes...especially when I'm trying to show off. :)

The last time I tried to take a camera up the lift it was 0 degrees out and the batteries were too cold to work! This day I was smart and kept the camera warmer!

Here are some pics from a day Brian went and it was gorgeous outside. The picture above is looking back towards Juneau, to the east. Looking down the mountain and the lift. The pictures below is looking west, to the other side of Douglas Island. Eaglecrest is on the island right off the main land. Pretty nice view huh?

A day in the sun...


So today Brian and I hung out with some friends, Dave and Karla. Since the weather was so great we decided to take Dave's skiff out to one of the many islands to play around, take some pictures and shoot some guns. We took with us three dogs which was also a lot of fun. Khaz, Charlie and Boo. All great company!

Here we are from the left, me, Dave, Karla, Charlie a choc lab, and Brian.

Back to shore, Auke Bay with the mountains glowing behind. Auke Bay is where my home is. About 12 miles from downtown Juneau and 9 miles from the hospital where I work.

This was a great day finally. The sun was shining, it was at least 40 degrees out and I didn't have to work!

Dave's dog, Khaz. He actually has a tennis ball in his mouth...just a little slobbery.
