The reason for my trip was to go and support my brother Pete for his run for State Senate!! Jamie and I participated in the Golden Days Parade. It was obviously overcast and kinda rainy at the beginning but by the time it was our turn to go, the weather cleared up nicely. Of course, my hair was ruined. :)
Heres Jamie holding up our hard work. That truck behind her, is what my family came to Alaska in back in 1967. It was a brand new 1967 Ford, with a camper on it and we came with 2 dogs and our cat that just had kittens. Their eyes were opened by the time we got to Anchorage. I learned to drive with this truck. No power steering back in those days either!! And it was a Clutch too!!
This here is the rifle range at UAF, where I shot for the UAF team. Only now its all computerized! Those are the targets you shoot at now, and its stays in the same place and everytime you did a shot, it would be downloaded with the score and put on a screen so every one could keep track of what you were doing. Very spectator friendly! I was really impressed!
And this picture is Jamie growling with the Polar bear at the UAF entry way! She's a silly girl! :)I think I will start out with pictures!!
