Cotton candy for breakfast.

We call mornings like this cotton candy.  Do I really need to explain why?  Beautiful way to start my day at work.

Even though we still don't have much snow it could always be worse.

On Super bowl weekend I went to Wasilla, AK and did some cross country skiing.  The skiing was in Hatchers Pass.  Since there is no snow in Girdwood we wanted to try Hatchers Pass.  it was definitely in need of snow as well but it was nice to get out and about.  Hatchers Pass has some old mines that used to be used years ago.  You can still ski/hike up to the empty houses and read about the mines.  In this pic on the right is is the old mining area.  Don't worry we didn't go any where near this part.  

Meanwhile....

On the Education part of my job snickers has currently visited about 754 students this year so far.  

Kara Robinson is the intern on the left.  This was her first porcupine school program to attend.  

This was Aquarian Charter Elementary School in Anchorage.  

Remember these little guys from last summer?  Well they aren't so little now....   

Kara was getting some last minute pictures with them before we introduced them to our herd.

I couldn't pass up the opportunity to do a little head butting with Wrangle and Chugach.  They are both just shy of 10 months old.  I can't believe how big they are!  I would say they weigh somewhere around 350 pounds or so.

                                                            Smile for the camera!

 

Goodnight lower 48,
