*sigh* Our new Alaskan cabin makes updating this blog much harder! It took 1 1/2 hours to load these pictures from our cabin this afternoon. Good thing I had a hat to finish knitting! The warmth of the wooden cabin walls does make the knitting cozy, and makes me want wooden walls for all eternity. So cozy and nice!
I had a few pictures left from when PapaStein came to visit. Gretel's exploring the Snow River when we snowshoed out there on a nice sunny day. Gretel loved exploring the ice and was very much the Olympian in training. Watch that triple quad lux!
PapaStein terrorized his grandpuppy at every opportunity, even while on snowshoes. She loved it so much! When she heard his voice on the phone last night, she literally attacked my face and the phone at the same time in excitement. Unfortunately for me, I was wearing glasses at the time and could no longer see due to puppy slobber.
Dad also cooked up a tasty pork shoulder on the barby. The barby turned into a smoke machine and filled the cabin with eye-watering aromas.
We've been busily keeping up with a puppy, playing volleyball, and planning a Ducks Unlimited event since Dad left, so we haven't had much to document for everyone. On Valentine's Day, though, Tyler got me a cute new pet to put in my mouth!
A little chocolate hedgehog! Isn't he cute? He was even cuter when I disembowled half his body and let him melt in my mouth. Thank you local Sewardian choclatiers!
Last weekend, we took down Tyler's traps. He ran a line a few miles from our cabin, and would go check them every other day. This is one of his traps, both of which were 'instant kill' traps to ensure the animals would suffer as little as possible. Unfortunately for him, nothing took the bait. He found some bunny and lynx tracks, and did get to do some hunting in the woods, though!
We took a family portrait while we were out. Gretel was very excited to play in the snow, and consequently did NOT want to sit still for our little picture. She wasn't so happy with the result: Tyler holding her in his lap.
Since Tyler was hunting rabbits along the way, we wanted to make sure little Gretels stood out in the crowd, so we gave her this yellow bandana. As you can see, a war ensued, and the bandana won. Such a silly puppy!
