First time on the beach!

We are visiting GJ's parents right now and the next day after our arrival we went to Lake Michigan. We had such a wonderful day and it is actually was very first time on the beach for us in 5 years! The weather was so beautiful and the water was very pleasant with big waves and hot sun:) I have never seen all three of our kids having so much fun at the same time! Thank you LORD for such a blessing!

Sasha is taking a nap after playing in the lake:)

Uncle Chris comes and goes:)

Today GJ's brother Chris came to see us just for a few hours. Tomorrow the boys are driving ALCAN with Daniel. Uncle Chris played with the kids and we went out for pizza and ice cream. After that they played more. You can hear something like " Watch out for the bear!" or " I got some "Emma stake", Stacia do you want a bite?" The girls had lots of fun!:)

Back in Alaska

Hello everyone! We are back to Alaska! Our flight was as a present from the LORD and we made it to our US home safe and sound! I will write later about our last days in Provideniya but today I want to post few pictures of the kids having fun outside on the sun:)
