Fabric painting with a friend

Last day of downhill skiing, pictures here of Rosemary with friends, photos taken by said friends' mothers; Ava skied with her father, who hardly ever takes pictures

Ava enjoyed spring track

Hanging out in the woods--learning local bird songs is part of our recent schoolwork

Museum Night at school for grades 3-6, complete with spooky after hours atmosphere. The students explained the historical "artifacts" they constructed. 

Rosemary at the Winterberry Charter School in Anchorage, where she does some schoolwork, in addition to lessons at home with me.

O'Malley Elementary School 2K fun run

The girls attended a birthday party at a house high in the mountains. We parked near the highway literally at sea level--a few feet away from the Turnagain Arm shoreline--and hiked 45 minutes more or less straight up. A beautiful day. 

Mother's Day gifts from Ava and Rosemary, respectively, that they made at school. I went on a nice hike by myself on the day itself.
