We spent the morning on the Riverboat Discovery--a must if you're ever in Fairbanks. We saw bush pilots take off and land on the Chena River and on sandbars, saw sled dogs in action (pulling at ATV rather than a sled!), and visited the Chena Village where we saw trapper cabins, native beadwork and sewing, reindeer, and got to pet sled dogs up close.
It totally looks like a place where there should have been bear fishing for salmon--but no luck! Mom and Dad saw another moose this morning on their way into town to meet us...I'm still hoping...
Audrey and Emma aren't quite ready to move in for the winter!
Look at this amazing shelter--I had to take a picture to use as an example the next time we need to build shelters at Girl Scout camp!
The last photograph is really cute! My brother was part of the Boy Scouts (we didn't have Girl Scouts! Oh well) and he used to tell me many stories about their camping trips. Building shelters was something he really enjoyed. I've tried building a shelter like that when I went on a school camp in 2004. It wasn't very glamorous but it sure was cozy! =D Continue having fun, Heim family! God bless you all!

What a fun day & I have to say, love your outfit.
Glad you saw your three moose--or is it meese? Heehee. Did you give them a muffin? (your girls too old for that story?)
Wow. I'm in a weird mood. Pay me no mind.
