A Mammoth Obsession.

Practically every day, Jade has been asking if she can go for a ride in the bike trailer.


It's not the ride that she's interested in, it's the location that matters to her. She wants to go here:

The Beringia Centre.
It's not because of the giant beaver.


It's not because of the big, mean scimitar cat.

It's not because of all the fun games for kids to play.


It's because she wants to see the mammoths. Jade has become obsessed with the mammoths.


Halia likes it, too. What could be more fun than running under the legs of a giant mammoth?





"Oh, no!  What's that!"
"It's Nanuq, the scimitar cat!"
"He's going to eat the mammoths!"

Jade says, "I'll protect you, mammoths!"
"There, there, baby mammoth. You're safe now."

The Beringia Centre is so worth the cost of the annual family pass.

Groundwork Sessions: Chasin' a Dream

These Yukon B-boys have a passion. Now, they want to take their passion and put it on display for the world to see. They're gunnin' for their own reality TV series on MTV. I think it would be awesome.

Their entry video is definitely worth a watch.

Father's Day Weekend

A year ago I was torn between my need to explore and my need to spend quality time with my family. Ideally, I would be able to find a way to combine the two - and that's exactly what happened.  Hurrah for the sailboat!

We spent Father's Day weekend exploring the marge of Lake Laberge and, best of all, I got to do it with my family. Here are a handful of family-time pictures that may not be interesting for many of my readers but will, at the very least, make the kids' grandparents happy.
