The local Elks Lodge organization held their annual "Say No to Drugs" bike race. The kids all wanted to participate, so after many phone calls, and driving all around town, we finally rounded up enough bikes for everyone (except for Kristen and Kylie, they rode in the "support" truck).
The course was a 6 mile ride from the ferry terminal, along the inlet, up to lake Chilkoot. Everyone finished the race, even Katelyn. Those little legs of hers had to peddle really hard on that small bike, but she was determined. And although her and I were the last ones who rode across the finish line--we still did it. Everyone was there at the end cheering her on. Her face just beamed!
The race was followed by a yummy barbecue at the lake campground, and then they had a drawing. I guess it was our lucky day, because we walked away with an ipod and a Nintendo DSi. Not bad!

How are you guys?!!! Why do you not change at all?!! I can't believe you had another baby girl. I still love you guys like crazy and your kids are adorable.
So I have about completely dropped off reading blogs this summer because we have been so busy, but I am so glad I caught up on yours tonight!! Wow! What an amazing Alaskan summer! I didn't see that you made it up to my hometown of Fairbanks, but hopefully you did, or will in the future. I read every one of your entries and just loved it. And Kylie is just the cutest thing ever - just a doll! I hope we get to all see each other soon :-)
