Thought I'd share a few pics of our new life here in Seward, Alaska. Also wanted to give you a glimpse of what you will find when you come to visit us here (notice I wrote "when" and not "if." So mark your calendars! =) </div><div align="center">The above picture is of our house- 1903 Jesse Lee Drive- one block from Safeway, and about a 4 minute jog from Jason's school! We are blessed to be in such a beautiful home!</div><div align="center"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/THNa9HFS41I/AAAAAAAABA4/FZ_Dy7U-FyM/s1600/welcome+to+seward+011.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5508846775124026194" border="0" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/THNa9HFS41I/AAAAAAAABA4/FZ_Dy7U-FyM/s320/welcome+to+seward+011.jpg" /></a> This is the view of the neighboring baseball field that separates our street from the next street over which Jason's school is located.

We had a wonderful morning! Ronan was so excited about Santa and was in awe to see the cookies and milk gone this morning! We were spoiled and blessed by so many family and friends. At one point, Ronan said he was done opening presents because he just wanted to play! =) Maren loved the bows and wrapping paper best of all of course! On Christmas Eve, Santa arrived on the mail plane with gifts for all the kids- a very special treat! We love and miss you all!

We were so blessed by them, as they picked us up (they own their own air taxi) and hosted us for the entire holiday weekend. We had a great time relaxing, playing in the snow, and spending time with friends. Ronan, particularly had a great time spending every waking moment with Patty and Glenn's 18 grandchildren who also live in Port Alsworth. We had a wonderful time and were quite sad to leave.

It is our district's southernmost site- approximately 300 miles south of Pedro Bay. It is on the ocean and is absolutely stunning! I was thrilled to have the opportunity to check it out, as not many people in the district get down there. All season we combined with another school from the village of Igiugig. We combined our mascots - the Pedro Bay Chiefs and the Igiugig No-See-Ums to become the mighty No-Chief-Ums! We went undefeated in our 3 man basketball all season and continued on to make it all the way to the championship game. We finished 2nd out of 8 teams while playing one person down with no subs! I am so proud of our team! Great job<br />No-Chief-Ums! Hope you enjoy the following pics of our team and the incredible scenery!</div><div align="center"><br /><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SaRu2GcYHNI/AAAAAAAAAd0/erELEBPpU6g/s1600-h/perryville+049.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5306488136670911698" style="DISPLAY: block;

We had a wonderful Christmas season which included cutting down our own Christmas tree, decorating and lots of cookie making, fourwheeler rides in the snow, moonlit walks, lots of holiday parties in our village, and a trip to Anchorage for some much needed shopping and eating out. We made it back home in time for Ronan to be a little sheperd boy in our church's nativity play on Christmas eve, which was followed by a potluck and caroling. This morning we opened presents and feel so blessed by our family and friends (and Santa!) =) Ronan is especially fond of his new trike {which he had been requesting for months) and didn't waste any time trying to cut down our Christmas tree with his new chainsaw! What a wonderful season to celebrate the gift of Christ! Thank you family and friends for your love! We love you!<br /><div> </div><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SVQWrejgBjI/AAAAAAAAAa0/quGrlj6BsEA/s1600-h/family+snow+2008+031.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5283873199004583474" style="DISPLAY: block;

(thanks to Grammy for the costume!) He preferred that Dad scoop out the pumpkin guts and Ronan eat the toasted seeds. And trick-or-treating was a big hit, as Ronan quickly learned to rip off the gloves, the second he entered a house so he could grab as much candy as possible! He's one quick learner! We had cold, clear, beautiful weather and couldn't have asked for a better day to be out and about. Now we just have to figure out where to hide all that candy! </div><br /><div></div><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzbkgut1yI/AAAAAAAAAYM/E6ndc-irtqk/s1600-h/Carving+pumpkins+2008+003.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263823484796917538" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzbkgut1yI/AAAAAAAAAYM/E6ndc-irtqk/s320/Carving+pumpkins+2008+003.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzO4Ipkt-I/AAAAAAAAAX8/2NCJPSH1ZdU/s1600-h/Halloween+2008+009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263809528279119842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzO4Ipkt-I/AAAAAAAAAX8/2NCJPSH1ZdU/s320/Halloween+2008+009.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzO3pEjbnI/AAAAAAAAAX0/AV0e1wPLX40/s1600-h/Halloween+2008+016.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263809519802347122" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzO3pEjbnI/AAAAAAAAAX0/AV0e1wPLX40/s320/Halloween+2008+016.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzO3XUaIRI/AAAAAAAAAXs/XF6gj12VwAg/s1600-h/Halloween+2008+014.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263809515037008146" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzO3XUaIRI/AAAAAAAAAXs/XF6gj12VwAg/s320/Halloween+2008+014.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzO21z1l3I/AAAAAAAAAXk/EFOssw53_c0/s1600-h/Halloween+2008+007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263809506042025842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQzO21z1l3I/AAAAAAAAAXk/EFOssw53_c0/s320/Halloween+2008+007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQeLeT-iSXI/AAAAAAAAAXU/KHHBCH4lz-I/s1600-h/Carving+pumpkins+2008+007.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262328042480617842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQeLeT-iSXI/AAAAAAAAAXU/KHHBCH4lz-I/s320/Carving+pumpkins+2008+007.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQeLeC4efDI/AAAAAAAAAXM/gA9PB9Cq7Oo/s1600-h/Carving+pumpkins+2008+013.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5262328037891800114" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQeLeC4efDI/AAAAAAAAAXM/gA9PB9Cq7Oo/s320/Carving+pumpkins+2008+013.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQZJZ6N5AgI/AAAAAAAAAW8/NjkPz_4K1gw/s1600-h/Carving+pumpkins+2008+011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261973924102078978" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQZJZ6N5AgI/AAAAAAAAAW8/NjkPz_4K1gw/s320/Carving+pumpkins+2008+011.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQY_Gg5yDSI/AAAAAAAAAWU/x3SAtPx-TN8/s1600-h/Carving+pumpkins+2008+002.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5261962595773058338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SQY_Gg5yDSI/AAAAAAAAAWU/x3SAtPx-TN8/s320/Carving+pumpkins+2008+002.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/369209678687909751-6599768536334830754?l=thebicklingfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Bicklingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14751806478860773446noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369209678687909751.post-83453663871954955692008-09-30T14:10:00.000-07:002008-09-30T14:16:59.314-07:00<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SOKWUDTN1II/AAAAAAAAAV8/COuyHWhzhZw/s1600-h/potato+pics.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5251925386694874242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SOKWUDTN1II/AAAAAAAAAV8/COuyHWhzhZw/s320/potato+pics.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Last week, our friend Roz, invited us over to pick from her garden. She provided Ronan with his own special potato digger tool and he was off! He loved digging in the dirt (what 2 year old doesn't?), finding the hidden treasures, and putting them in our bag! He picked a ton all on his own- as if he was born to pick potatoes! It was a beautiful day and a super way to spend time in the outdoors! We also got to pick peas and rasberries!

We hardly can. Ronan turned 2 today and we've had such fun reflecting on that most amazing day 2 years ago! Ronan has mastered telling people that he is now 2- it's so fun to hear him (though he is still holding up 5 fingers!)! We opened presents (Ronan was spoiled by so many of you- thank you!) and he had a great time ripping paper! We followed dinner up with an excavator truck cake (Ronan is obsessed with trucks)! Thankfully, Ronan knew exactly what it was (so hopefully my cake making days aren't numbered!). He successfully blew out his candle and we all enjoyed eating the yummy creation! Ronan got lots of phone calls, birthday cards, and even got to enjoy seeing some of you on Skype! Thanks so much for helping us celebrate and making his day so special!<br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHg-hDlDjI/AAAAAAAAAV0/iN-iJf-TN_Q/s1600-h/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+016.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247222405493231154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHg-hDlDjI/AAAAAAAAAV0/iN-iJf-TN_Q/s320/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+016.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHgQHUvGOI/AAAAAAAAAVM/0BzpPVDaF7A/s1600-h/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+042.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247221608311888098" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHgQHUvGOI/AAAAAAAAAVM/0BzpPVDaF7A/s320/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+042.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHgQafrjtI/AAAAAAAAAVk/GIhU6IATREs/s1600-h/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+013.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247221613458067154" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHgQafrjtI/AAAAAAAAAVk/GIhU6IATREs/s320/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+013.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHfjhk77oI/AAAAAAAAAUs/uUSgLAP3XY0/s1600-h/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+027.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247220842265046658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHfjhk77oI/AAAAAAAAAUs/uUSgLAP3XY0/s320/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+027.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHfjjtxv3I/AAAAAAAAAU0/ryyEAJ01Nvg/s1600-h/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+026.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247220842838998898" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHfjjtxv3I/AAAAAAAAAU0/ryyEAJ01Nvg/s320/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+026.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHfjgSKI-I/AAAAAAAAAU8/QLkxCrsOWTQ/s1600-h/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+046.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247220841917850594" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHfjgSKI-I/AAAAAAAAAU8/QLkxCrsOWTQ/s320/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+046.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHfj_K2z8I/AAAAAAAAAVE/n1RFB7gf7dk/s1600-h/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+038.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5247220850208722882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SNHfj_K2z8I/AAAAAAAAAVE/n1RFB7gf7dk/s320/2nd+Birthday+%26+misc+038.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/369209678687909751-8264979082453477?l=thebicklingfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Bicklingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14751806478860773446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369209678687909751.post-46429351209450755102008-09-01T15:56:00.000-07:002008-09-01T21:57:00.168-07:00<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SLx9ROG4ifI/AAAAAAAAAT0/69WvloWe4QY/s1600-h/Visit+to+Oregon+046.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241201801150630386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SLx9ROG4ifI/AAAAAAAAAT0/69WvloWe4QY/s320/Visit+to+Oregon+046.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Earlier this summer, we learned that our dear friend and Ronan's godmother, Stephanie and her daughter Sofia were coming to Oregon (they are missionaries in Ecuador). Jason generously suggested that Ronan and I go down for a visit so we took him up on it. And so in mid August we got to fly out together with my Mom and Don and even got to sit next to them on our flight down. Our time was a whirlwind, splitting our time between Eugene and Portland. Ronan and I were quick to connect with Stephanie and Sofia- meeting for playdates on the river and the fish hatchery. We even convinced the grandmas to babysit (not a hard sell there) and we managed to have some solo mommy time together. We also got to see our friends the Huffmans, the Hunters, the Pages, and many more. We did a bit of shopping (you only realize how fun it is when you can't do it on a regular basis) and Ronan got a 2nd haircut from Grandma. It was wonderful being home (it still feels like home to me) though we missed Jason terribly. In Portland, we moved at a fast and furious pace spending time with lots of friends including the Kratzers, the Weaklands, the Dieters, the Connollys, the Pringles, and a playdate at the zoo (Ronan's first time!) with the Beairds. We even got to celebrate Ronan's 2nd birthday early with Jason's mom and godfamily- the Walhoods, Brauns, and Pringles. And again, Grammy relieved me for an evening so I could have a night on the town with my longest (not oldest) friend Kara. Ronan had a great time and we are so grateful to our friends and family who opened up their homes and hearts and shared their time with us! Thank you most importantly to Jason who gifted us this opportunity! Thank you! I love you!<br /><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SLx9RalC6OI/AAAAAAAAAT8/zY1qMWoBrvI/s1600-h/Visit+to+Oregon+125.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5241201804498364642" style="DISPLAY: block;

We headed directly south down to Seward and the next day took a 6 hour cruise in the Kenai Fjords- it was breathtaking! We saw whales, including a mama with a calf, lots of puffins, a sea otter, dall porpoises, sea lions, harbor seals, and much more! Then we headed to Homer where Jason and Don got to take a trip out to Port Graham with our friend Mike on his boat. Jason loved visiting our old village and getting to reconnect with old friends. On the way home, Jason and Don got their limit catching halibut on almost every cast! They had a great time and our freezer is now full! Yum!<br />While they were out fishing, Ronan swallowed a coin-sized charm and so for three days, he had xrays to ensure that it was making it's way through! Fortunately, Ronan pooped it out just before we headed back up to Anchorage to head back to the village. It was a very scary time for Ronan's mommy but we're glad that his first ER visit wasn't more serious.<br />After a goregous flight out to Pedro Bay, Linda and Don finally understand why we are choosing to live out in the bush! Jason was a fishing guide extaordinare and hooked Don up with some serious fishing, including a fly-out trip on a float plane with our local fishing lodge! Thank you Pippens!! Don finished his first Alaskan trip with halibut, salmon, and pike! We had a great time taking some trips out on the boat, berry picking, and we even managed to have a hiking date while Ronan hung out with his grandparents! Mom also got to paint some beautiful Alaskan watercolors and we can't wait to see her final results! Thank you Mom and Don for a wonderful visit and loving on our son!

A good friend of ours, Mike Petersen, was making a trip over in his boat and he generously offered to take us over. Unfortunately, because we went by boat, Teresa and Ronan couldn't make the trip with me. It had been three years since we were last there. It was so good to see so many of our friends and it still felt like home in many ways. All of our students were the same except they are now about a foot taller. Because I was only there for a few hours, I wasn't able to see everyone. (Sorry if I missed you) Hopefully, Teresa, Ronan, and I can ALL make it back over there soon. Thank you Port Graham for welcoming me back...I can't wait to visit again.<br /><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEqUhsnk_I/AAAAAAAAAOc/DhWa9IHyH98/s1600-h/Homer+101.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233510774112490482" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEqUhsnk_I/AAAAAAAAAOc/DhWa9IHyH98/s320/Homer+101.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEpZ7ec53I/AAAAAAAAAN8/ADDv6qJxjtg/s1600-h/Homer+099.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233509767420110706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEpZ7ec53I/AAAAAAAAAN8/ADDv6qJxjtg/s320/Homer+099.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoDjBYcBI/AAAAAAAAANM/l3zxMlHvJVo/s1600-h/Homer+094.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233508283386982418" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoDjBYcBI/AAAAAAAAANM/l3zxMlHvJVo/s320/Homer+094.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoD7tuYdI/AAAAAAAAANU/yEsWyvQfC9s/s1600-h/Homer+039.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233508290015420882" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoD7tuYdI/AAAAAAAAANU/yEsWyvQfC9s/s320/Homer+039.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoD-I8LHI/AAAAAAAAANc/mETNjRP9W1s/s1600-h/Homer+102.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233508290666441842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoD-I8LHI/AAAAAAAAANc/mETNjRP9W1s/s320/Homer+102.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoECTJ66I/AAAAAAAAANk/99VOwWiBYkU/s1600-h/Homer+104.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233508291783027618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoECTJ66I/AAAAAAAAANk/99VOwWiBYkU/s320/Homer+104.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoEW5BJcI/AAAAAAAAANs/tG_wyLysaXc/s1600-h/Homer+097.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5233508297310545346" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEoEW5BJcI/AAAAAAAAANs/tG_wyLysaXc/s320/Homer+097.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEmy3gG9sI/AAAAAAAAAMk/5PXgorJxODo/s1600-h/Homer+104.jpg"></a><br /><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEmzO0AOCI/AAAAAAAAAMs/dRX1Gy3NhL8/s1600-h/Homer+039.jpg"></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEmzJr-pJI/AAAAAAAAAM0/Ypnw6ngfA3M/s1600-h/Homer+094.jpg"></a><br /><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEmzfq9ryI/AAAAAAAAAM8/Vw4I7dXTrRQ/s1600-h/Homer+099.jpg"></a><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SKEmzx-OPYI/AAAAAAAAANE/8YMaw7rkdZE/s1600-h/Homer+098.jpg"></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><div></div></div></div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/369209678687909751-1773674654246888823?l=thebicklingfamily.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>The Bicklingshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14751806478860773446noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-369209678687909751.post-83913564206250171082008-08-08T23:05:00.000-07:002008-08-09T20:15:02.774-07:00<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SJ5a9bemGII/AAAAAAAAAMc/1aTSrhD1Xvk/s1600-h/Homer+039.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5232719828445698178" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SJ5a9bemGII/AAAAAAAAAMc/1aTSrhD1Xvk/s320/Homer+039.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />At the end of July, Amy, Zack, and Kai joined us for a week in Pedro Bay. We loved sharing bush Alaska with them and tried to talk Zack into taking a job at the health clinic- we're still waiting for them to move on up here! Jason and Zack were obsessed fisherman- attempting to catch a few remaining silver sockeyes before they turned red (no good to eat once they're red). But Amy and Teresa got to do some fishing too. Amy and Zack were pro's - catching a ton of fish and they even went home with a whole box full of frozen fillets! Ronan and Kai had a great time berry picking with us and riding Ronan's new truck! The weather was fantastic and we can't wait for them to come back and visit us next summer!

The weather was spectacular for most of their stay and so we took lots of boat and 4wheeler rides, went on lots of walks, and showed Susan and Anna the best of village life- including a 4th of July potluck and the excitement of mail days and grocery planes! And except for some very large poops on the road as evidence, Susan is almost convinced bears don't live in the village! The sockeye salmon run also happened during their stay so we got to share our first subsistence fishing experience with them. Susan was a trooper and we all enjoyed picking the nets and trying our hand at canning! Jason was a busy fisherman and thanks to him our freezer is now full! Thank you Susan and Anna for such an amazing visit!

Ronan was a trooper on the plane and we hardly noticed the jetlag. Dad and Rhoda were great hosts and we explored much of their part of the island which was tropical, lush, and far from the busy city. We enjoyed exploring many quaint coastal towns, great beaches, watching Rhoda compete in dragon boat racing, hiking on Llama Island, and exploring the many markets of Hong Kong including the flower, bird, ladies, electronics, and gentleman's markets. We even managed to have a few dates while Grandpa and Grandma babysat! We also were joined by Teresa's sister Bethany, and her boyfriend Von for part of the trip and together we enjoyed the nightlife and Hong Kong Disneyland! The best part was watching Ronan getting to know his grandparents and Aunt! Thank you Dad, Rhoda, Beth and Von- we miss you already!<br /><br /><br /><div><a href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SIWCQMS2-JI/AAAAAAAAAJE/S4CSsZaIAXM/s1600-h/326.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225726157323171986" style="DISPLAY: block;

The kids did an amazing job fundraising all year for the trip and we got to be the lucky chaperones! We spent most of our time on the North Shore of Oahu at a YMCA camp where a recent episode of "Lost" was filmed the week before. While in Hawaii we took time to relax on the beaches but also managed to snorkel Hanauma Bay, check out an aquariaum, surf Waikiki, tour the Dole Plantation, speak at a local high school about the Alaskan Native culture, check out the Polynesian Cultural Center, attend a luau, and visit the Pacific Aviation Museum at Pearl Harbor. It was a lot of work making sure kids were fed, safe, and having fun- (much like being a parent to many!), but we had the help of our friends Keith and Becca and we feel blessed to have had them along. We even found time to spend an evening with our friend David and his daughter Aubree. Ronan was spoiled by all the attention, and we all came home with gorgeous tans!<br /><br /><a href="http://bp2.blogger.com/_5_QBRjPaYg0/SIV1PTuS0QI/AAAAAAAAAGU/Esc1CiVSSiI/s1600-h/IMG_2004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225711848486260994" style="DISPLAY: block;
