SKY. Thanks to J's dad, Dixon, we have fallen in love with sky lanterns. The beauty of letting a globe of fire float up to the heavens is just wonderful, especially from the beach in the cold Alaska winter air... If you haven't done this (the sky lantern part, not the cold Alaska winter thing), put it on your life list. If you have, you know the childlike joy and anticipation that bubbles inside you as you hold the thin paper in your hands and light the flame. See the video below the pictures...
Inflating...
Lift off!
SAND. It's back! Temperatures in the 40's have sufficiently melted the sparkly light snow revealing our agate-laden beach once again! The new moon's low tide coupled with our sky lantern mission created a crazy forum for iceberg climbing and running about in the darkness. Simple living yields creative play! Another video for you...
SNOW. Come on. It's Team Leslie for goodness sake. Did you really think I could let a post go by without mentioning a ski trip? We hit an old fashioned rope-tow mountain in Homer, followed by the ski-in yurts from Christmas time - somehow we managed to have even more fun!
Heading in...
Living in the round.
Snowy run about!
Ski bunny.
One of many reasons why we came...
SILLY. It's Spring Break; what can you expect?
Hula Ski Kitty.
Afro Goggles.
And speaking of silly, we had the pleasure of hosting our old friend Mr. Andy Roof from Hood River, Oregon for a part of our vacation (see Afro Goggles, above). In the coming days, Mr. Roof will be the first visitor to become a "Guest Blogger," giving his perspectives on Team Leslie's Alaska Adventure. I happen to know that beyond spindoctoring, Mr. Roof will be contributing some stellar photographs and ridiculous video footage that may very well make you pee your pants - so get those adult diapers handy and stay tuned!
