Happy Thanksgiving!

North Peninsula Trail

A Snowy Day on the Kenai Beach

Kenai Beach

We hope that all you Minnesotans, Coloridians, Connecticisans (or is in nutmeggers?), or wherever you may be, had a wonderful and relaxing Thanksgiving weekend! Although away from family, we were able to enjoy are Thanksgiving day with co-workers/friends.

This weekend finally snowed enough where we could ski, but not enough for groomed trails. Despite the lack of groomed trails, we skied anyway. We skied the North Peninsula Trails on Friday and the Tsalteshi Trails on Saturday. Both will eventually be groomed, but for the time being we'll take what we can get.

Kenai had an electric lights show, bonfire, and fireworks on Friday night. We went to the fireworks. Supposedly they are suppose to be beautiful when the snow is falling, unfortunately we were not graced with that. But it was kind of fun watching fireworks with snow on the ground, something new for both of us.

Saturday evening we met up with some friends from MN, Mary and Tom Doig. Their son plays junior hockey for Fairbanks and they happened to be playing the Kenai River Brown Bears in Soldotna (our local team). They were in town to watch him play so we joined them. It was nice to see familiar faces from home!
