FIRE. As the daylight wanes, Team Leslie has been making every effort to get outside and enjoy that big ball of fire in the sky (sort of like the taboo of Voldemort, people don't say the S-word in Alaska at this time of year for fear that it will stay hidden behind the clouds!). A few days ago, J decided to add his own brand of fire to the mix...
Slip sliding away.
Better than the circus.
Magic maker.
Fire in the sky.
Fire on the beach.
Night night.
ICE. And snow. And way more winter sports action than we have ever done in October before... Having hit the local sports swap with serious vigor (Nothing motivates a penny-pinching ski bum more than a swap; J literally dropped a shoulder on his way through the gymnasium door to get into better position... he zigs to the left, he zags to the right, he scooooooores!!), we were armed and ready with new-to-us skates, skiis and determination. Some scenes from our whacky not-quite-yet-winter wonderland:
Round the rink.
Frosty waterfall.
Last ride of the season?
And securing Team Leslie's first October turns, not J, but Indigo! A last minute venture across the street last night in the snow yielded some excellent runs. Along with the picture, there are two videos, folks. If they don't show up in the subscriber email, click on the Alaska Adventure heading and zap to the actual blogsite to see the footie. Indigo really said, "Set me down in the freshies, Mama. I want to make new tracks!"
