After having spent the past weekend in Minnesota enjoying warm, sunny weather for Joe and Danielle's wedding, it was hard to come into Anchorage on Monday night to temps in the 30s. Every morning on our drive to school this week we were down in the 20s and unfortunately this weekend was clouded over. After running errands on Saturday we decided Sunday was time to get away for awhile. We drove down to Homer where we walked around the Carl E. Wynne Nature Center. This was our first visit to the nature center without snow. It looks quite different. Many of the tall shrubs and smaller trees can't be seen in the winter due to all the snow. After that we headed down to Bishop's Beach and walked along Beluga Slough and the Cook Inlet. There were a few different species of birds but mainly Northwestern crows. There was a flock of them moving down the beach together searching for food. Once a crab or clam was found they would fly up into the air, drop it, and go back down to feast on the crab or clam whose shell cracked open from the fall. We watched them for quite some time as one right after another dropped their meal. Tonight Jon plays his second game with a local men's hockey league. So not only is he busy helping coach a pee wee team, but he's playing a little hockey of his own.
Friday was the last day of 1st quarter for us at Kenai Middle. It was a busy one but it went by fast. We're hoping that 2nd quarter goes fast too so that we can be home for Christmas!
