Hello everyone this is Lee. I had a frozen sandwich on Wednesday October teh 25th. We also saw some silver salmon sponing before we got to the Sea Life Center in Seward. When we got to the sea Life Center there was a lot to do. We saw Woody he is a male Steller Sea Lion or a pinniped wich means carnivorous marine mammal plus two harbor seals. On the way back we saw a glacier, over 30 moose and over 100 bald eagles where we also saw some silver salmon on the train. We had Subway sandwiches for dinner. Over all that was the most fun trip I have ever and will ever go on. Lee
Sounds like Lee really enjoyed his trip! I know that when he got off the bus at 8:30 pm he was one tired little camper. Today was a beautiful day for Alaska. We got about 6 inches of snow and the temp stayed right in the 30's (-3'C). Lee spent most of the afternoon outside in the snow building a fort with his friend. Bret and I just hung out inside. One of our tires was punctured so Bret got to spend some time in the snow changing over to the spare. Other than that not much going on this weekend, just spending some quality family time while Bret's home. He will write something later this week.
Hope everyone is doing well! we miss and love your all

Hello one and all, so it's Sunday, and obviously Lee and I didn't get any pictures posted from last weekend. Lee did have Friday off though and we went out to Earthquake park to watch the planes zoom overhead that are landing at the airport so we got a couple of pics for you to see
The first one is of the mountain "Sleeping Lady" Just where the sun starts shinning on the mountain is the lady's head, then you see a slender neck, her chest and torso and then finally her two feet sticking up. I don't know if that is an adequate enough description for you to figure out over the net....but hey I tried! Obviously the 2nd is a shot of downtown Anchorage from across the water. Pretty self explanatory.
Bret was back briefly last night, but he left for the slope this morning at 11:00, the nice thing is that he'll be back for 2 weeks on Thursday. Even though it was brief it was nice to see him.
Most of the leaves have fallen off the trees now, and we have frost most nights. The days have been sunny and cool (high 30's to low 40's) so it's been great fall weather. On Friday Lee and I also got his Halloween costume, but I'll wait until the day to put a pic up on the blog. Now that he's eleven this will most likely be his last year. When I told him that he said, "ya we'll be too old to dress up next year, so I'll just go trick or treating in my regular clothes". Yikes, too funny huh.
Otherwise all is well on the homefront. Just hanging out and relaxing.....if only life was that easy lol. Lee's big trip to the Sea Life Center is on Wednesday so I'll have him write something for everybody on the blog. He's really excited! He very much appreciated everyones positive reaction to his last blerb, so we'll keep the news updates coming.
Hope this finds everyone well!
Peace, love and eternal grooviness!

HAPPY SATURDAY TO ALL!!!!!!!!!!
No pics today sorry ;( Just thought I'd write a quick note to keep people up to date. Bret is still in Oklahoma (sorry for the spelling error last time) What can I say??? I'm Canadian.
We interrupt this broadcast for an important news bulletin by J. Lee Williamson:
dear Everybody we are going to the Sea Life Center in Seward !We are leaving Anchorage at 9:15 am our time. We should be back by 8:30 at night.We are going to take a bus one way and a Sea Train the other way. It will take two to three hours by bus and we should be at the Sea Life Center for about two to three hours plus we take a Sea Train back which will be three to three and a half hours. which should add up to 8:30 pm we won't take any of our school stuff we won't even need our own backpacks, all we really need is a journal, two pencils, an eraser, and a sharpener. I will also be looking for some wild animals. My grades are doing very good,and my reading and writing plus my math is doing pretty well. Goodbye friends until next time! LOVE LEE
Thank you Lee for that news break!
Yes Bret is still in Sooner territory, and reports that his class is going well. On all of his tests up until today he got 100% but today.....sadly.....he got 88%......one big sigh for Bret everybody......
sigh
As for me it's been work work work. Lee and I went to see the movie "Open Season" today and it was hilarious! we highly recommend it to kids and adults alike. Many laughs were had. Other than that we've been doing the boring stuff like grocery shopping and working on spelling lists. Hopefully we'll get out tomorrow and take a few action shots to post on the blog.
Until then......goodnight to one and all!
We love you very much! p.s. I've adjusted the settings so anyone can leave a comment on the blog. We'd love to know who is watching and reading our news...include emails if ya want or just email me at hobbz4@yahoo.com so that I get everybody's address.

So the three of us went to the park for a walk this weekend. It is Campbell Creek and this is one of the spots that salmon come to spawn. Here's a photo of one salmon that was hanging around in the river
You can see how red he is....obviously he'd been here for quite awhile. The best thing about the walk is that when we were walking up the path by the water we almost ran into a moose head on. I was so surprised that I didn't get a good photo of him but he was less than 4 feet away from us.......
Hopefully I won't be shaking so much next time and I'll get a better photo.
Bret's been home since Thursday and is off to Kelleyville which is right outside of Tulsa on Saturday. He is taking his commercial drivers license....maybe he'll get an action shot of him driving a big rig.....yikes! lol
Just to sign off I thought I'd send a couple of action shots for you to see ....Lee studying....Bret and Lee at the park.....and Lee and I at the park. I hope everyone is doing well. The weather here has certainly cooled down. It's in the low 30's at night and mid 50's during the day. Lee has been playing with his friends all night outside. We're still losing light of course but it still stays light until at least 8pm. I'm taking one of my change facilitation classes tomorrow and then I work the weekend...ick. Bret will be in Oaklahoma for 10 days back in Anchorage overnight and then he'll finish off his hitch on the slope for 4 days....so at least we'll get to see him once during this hitch. We got Lee's school pics and they are great we'll work on sending some out to family.
