It was a rough week for many at Kenai Middle School. On Tuesday, we lost one of our students to a car accident. Dad picked her up from school for an appointment at 10:30. On their way to the appointed the car hit some ice, went into the other lane, and the passenger side was T-boned. The following day was tough but the kids and teachers are mending. The kids are doing a fantastic job of supporting each other through this.
This weekend has brough lots of snow. It starting snowing Friday night and on Saturday we woke up to our lawn covered in white. It has been snowing off and on since. The trees look beautiful draped in the white fluff. Jon and I went for a walk today and saw two cow moose on opposite sides of the road. Both we're busy browsing for food. Although one looked up at us, she only glanced for a few seconds then went back to her work. On Saturday night we attended a concert at Soldotna High School performed by Pamyea. Pamyea is a Yup'ik band, singing many of their song in their native tongue. The music was very upbeat and enjoyable. The instruments consisted of a guitar, various types of drums, and a didgeridoo. This was the first native cultural event we had attended. It was fun to see this side of Alaska and I hope that we can do it more often.
