All we are saying....

is set Maggie free...



Maggie is the one and only elephant here in Alaska. There is A LOT of controversy surrounding her Arctic existence. Jamison's little friend Abe (pictured above) adores her and they make frequent trips to the zoo just to see her. Poor Abe had no idea that we spent part of our Memorial Day weekend at a small rally to encourage the zoo to send her to a sanctuary somewhere outside of Alaska.

Ok, ok...truth be told..we-my brood(to include Kenai), Abe, his mom Jodi and little brother Dallion-we were more than partly drawn by the idea of something as bizarrely Alaskan as an elephant protest. Oh, did I mention her treadmill?

YeeHaw!!

The 2nd and 3rd graders did a little country hoedown with great music and some serious square dancing. I have to admit, while the parents were told not to go out and buy things for the event, I couldn't resist the red boots. AND if you could have seen her when they were told to swing their hips....she had her back to us and even LeighAnne commented on her little booty.

How High Can You Fly

The girls participated in a Jump for Heart jump-rope-a-thon. It was a wonderful Alaskan spring afternoon and they were worn out by the end.

If we are lucky, they will be able to have their choir concert outdoors next week...watch for those pictures coming soon
