The boys went fishing at Eklutna this past weekend. They went with Jared's boss, Col. Cocklin (our adopted Grandpa here in Alaska!) They biked in about 3 miles, with their fishing poles, and then fished for hours at this river. They did very well, somewhere near 20 fish....I guess you can stop counting after that!

Soccer
We were so excited to start playing soccer again! Since we left Louisiana, it has been a whole year since the boys have played. They were excited to get started again. It works out great because they don't schedule games or practices on Weekends, so you can still enjoy your Alaskan activities!
Joshua had a good team, with lots of his friends. They told us at the beginning that they would stomp every team, because they played at school together all the time and they didn't let us down. Jared helped coach his team. He ran practices and another dad did the games. (Jared couldn't do games because all of Joshua's games fell on Church Young Men Night).

Nathan played on a coed team with two of his friends. Just like in Louisiana, he has a good friend who is also named Nathan, so we called ours Cardon. They had a lot of fun together. He is getting really good, and wants to play Comp ball in the fall....we will see! This is the first year Jared didn't coach him....well, officially, but he was just the coach on the parent side. He stilled yelled and coached all the players. I guess it is in him!

LDS Scout Encampment
Jared and Nathan were able to attend an LDS Scout Encampment here in Alaska last week. There were approximately 800 LDS boys and 200 leaders from Alaska, Canada, and Washington areas.
Nathan was able to earn his canoeing and kayaking merit badge, and is now ready for his Eagle. His project got approved while he was away, so now he needs to get busy! Jared helped with the white water rafting, and spent many hours on the river. They were also able to listen to Brad Wilcox, his son, Hank Smith, Michael McLean, and Elder Christensen of the Seventy. I think it was a very spiritual week for them both. They came home dirty and tired, so I guess it was a success.
