Alaska to Texas

Well, here's a few pictures from our trip to Fairbanks, we had a great time!!
We got to do some gold mining, and keep what we found.


Ok, so we didn't really find nuggets THAT big, only a few of those smaller pieces, about $33

But we had a great time swimming in the pool.


Then we saw the Great Alaskan Pipeline. Hey, lets get some more oil in that thing, these gas prices are killing us!



After scouting for about 15 hours on the road for animals and seeing only a caribou and one rabbit, we come home and see this visitor in our backyard. I risked my life to get a picture this close, so hope you enjoy it!



And of course, a compelling case for the cutest kids in the world.

Tonight, Beth is leaving me with these two for a trip to Dallas for a business conference, so I'm going to need all the help I can get. We're sure going to miss her, and she'll be back real soon. Beth, we'll sing "Deep in the heart of Texas" every night until you come back!

  2. OKLAHOMA, where the wind comes sweeping down the plain.
    And the waving wheat can sure smell sweet when the wind comes right behing the rain!
    Just a little reminder about God's country. :-)

  7. I know this is a little late but.... The starts at night are big and bright. *clap, clap, clap, clap* Deep in the heart of Texas. Reminds me of the one I love, *clap, clap, clap, clap* Deep in the heart of Texas.

    I could go on but I thought that was better than the wind sweeping down the plain. Sorry Beth, you married a Texan, and your future son in law is one too, what did you expect? lol. Love Y'all!
