Yesterday we went ice blocking with some friends from dental school. It was pretty fun. It was nice to see the other wives again.
For those who don't know what ice blocking is, which I didn't before I met the Albistons, you take a tub of water and freeze it with a rope in it. Then, Wa-la, you have your very own block of ice to careen down your chosen hill. We were at some park in Yukon, I didn't know what it is called. There is this huge hill there that is used for sledding in the snow. Well, it is perfect for ice blocking also.







Valina brought snow cones. The kids really enjoyed that. Especially Asher. (Yes, I am including him with the kids.) He worked at a snow cone stand in high school and developed a passion for a really good snow cone.

Almost right after we first arrived Caylee lost another tooth. We have to leave the window open so the tooth fairy can come in.


I was surprised at how much Caylee loved riding the ice. She spent nearly all her time on the slope. She even missed dinner because she did not want to stop. We let her grab something before we left though.

Traipsing up that hill lugging a block of ice was not easy work. I did it for one of the other girls right before I took this picture and it was hard.


Here are the guys just hanging out. Asher and his friends have gotten pretty close. They have spent a lot of time together for the last four years. I know that Asher will miss them.

Sery found a stray block of ice. Yummy!




This was neat. Someone brought a kite and let the kids play with it. They all took turns holding the string. This kite was much easier to fly than the one that we tried at the church.





Bethany couldn't slide down on ice so she used her bottom instead.




I was trying to get a picture of Asher and the girls but I couldn't get the girls to stay still at the same time. I thought this was a nice view from the mountain.





Someone had an idea to get a picture of all the mommies with babies because we all had at least one. Then we decided to get a picture of the guys. And then a picture of the kids.

It was funny because while the ladies were lined up the guys were lined up on the other side with cameras. Then we traded. Then the parents were lined up taking picture of the children.


I don't think I got a very good picture of the children. Hopefully someone else did and will email it out.
