Update In EMO

It's been great here in Emmonak.  The weather is getting colder, but it isn't as bad as you would think.  Yeah, it's below zero (with windchill) at night, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be.  We are still walking around in sweatshirts some of the time.  The past two days I've made sure to put a coat on everywhere I go because of the cold I had.  But it's so gorgeous everywhere!!!

Notice the -5 degrees...

A view from the plane of the water freezing.

My boardwalk a few days before it snowed.

It's snowing!

On our walk to the post office...so pretty...AND COLD!

My boardwalk...see the moon?

See how gorgeous?

The sun rises around 10:30am and goes down around 5:00pm.  It's been in the single digits and gets below zero with windchill.  On Monday and Tuesday it snowed.  We have about a foot now.  We had people get stuck here with "weather holds" on their flights.  Our wrestlers weren't able to compete last weekend, but they finally left on Wednesday for Regionals (the high schoolers).  One of them took second and is going to states!  Another took 3rd and the other took 4th.  Great job to them again!

Laura has fish in her room.  The kids are obsessed!  They watched them for atleast a half hour!

 HEHE.  We're so mean to Laura's dog...

 When the tech guys were here, Sam made us gumbo!  Yum!  My first authentic gumbo!  (He's from New Orleans)

Yummy Gumbo!

Yes...that is alligator...yes...I ate it...

Hehe!  a Bush Manicure! (done with whiteout:))

We're having game night again tomorrow night.  I'm excited to hang out with the kids, but more excited for sleep.  It's been a long week!
