Airshow and Friends.

Last weekend we made a brief stop at the local airshow. Maybe it wasn't an airshow; no one was flying, but there were lots of planes and booths. We entered a raffle to win this plane:

Oh, it is SO beautiful. Sadly we didn't win this year. But you'll be jealous when we do! :) Actually, if we win this, we don't know what we would do. It is not an ideal plane for two giants to fly in. Anyway, we'll jump that hoop when we get there, right?!

A few random pics:

Check out that GPS system! That is crazy. It is almost too luxurious to me. What happened to using your map in the air?

With Elmendorf, Ft. Rich, and (?) Kulis right in town, we see a lot of the suckers out practicing. I guess I didn't realize how big they were til I walked through it. They are incredible. Also, it is not often that Andy looks little next to something!

I never knew that tundra tires were so big! We want a plane, can you tell?

Finally, a pic with Andy next to his favorite, a helicopter.

We also had Annie and Cam over. Tis the season again - the season where all seasonal workers go to work. Because of school, I don't fall in this category, which meant there was a need for a part-ay. We got together and made a yummy seafood pasta. Cam brought fresh clams (dug the day before) but somewhere between their house and mine, they died! They are so finicky. So we dumped the clams and had shrimp, king crab, and scallops instead. Hey mom, betcha didn't think you'd hear me say that I enjoyed that meal! PS. Check out our awesomely stocked, incredibly tiny kitchen. We're gonna miss it when we have to move!

And finally, a picture of the alpenglow one evening. Cameras never do it justice, but Andy called me and said that it looked like orange creamscicles outside...it totally did. Aw. I just look at this pic, and minus the trees that haven't blossomed and the house and the gross snow, those mountains are my favorite. Love love love them!
