Jack-
     Happy Fathers Day everybody. Especially to the world's greatest dad. My own father. Wow. I feel REALLY guilty for not blogging in almost two weeks. So there is a lot that I have to catch you up on. Every weekend there is a movie, the first weekend my dad and I saw The Avengers. Wow, that was one of the best movies that I have ever seen. I would give it four stars out of five stars. This most recent weekend the movie Men in Black 3 was in Wrangell. That was a one of the most weird movies that I have ever seen. But overall, it  was a pretty good movie. I would give it three and a half stars out of five. My mom will be coming on the 23 of June and will be staying until the third of July.   Last weekend my father and I took a  boat trip up the Stikine with our boss Mr. Lipert and the lumber crew. We were taking a load of lumber up to the natural hot tubs to fix a bridge that had been broken.   Yesterday my dad and I went down to a petroglyph beach and looked at the stone carvings there. Four days ago I shot my first gun. That was one of the most terrifying experiences ever.   I do not plan to shoot another gun for a very long time.   The current number of bears that we have seen is three!   But that means that we have seen more porcupines than we have bears. The total numbers of porcupines that we have seen is five. The librarians here are some of the nicest in the world. Last year, when we went back to Colorado after staying in Wrangell for three months, all the librarians at our local library seemed really mean in comparison. I will post some pictures when I have a better internet conection.

  1. Jack - Nice to hear from you! Good job keeping your wildlife counts and your movie reviews or at least your ratings of the movies you've seen. You DO have the best dad in the world - to take you on the adventure of a lifetime not once but twice! Don't you guys ever get sick of each other? After all, it is close quarters living in the camper and truck for all these weeks! I was glad to read that he gave you a little time off this past week to catch up on your beauty sleep. Hey, I also appreciated your review of your librarians - if anyone knows librarians, it should be YOU! Maybe you should interview them and find out what makes them so agreeable as opposed to most other librarians.
    We had a fun neighborhood BBQ here at my house last night with the Mathwigs and a lot of other neighbors. You two were greatly missed and your mom spent a lot of time updating everyone about your great Alaskan Adventure. Hopefully, you will get some more comments on your blog from some of them. You probably get tired of hearing from me.
    I might be sending some treats your way with your mom, so be sure to ask her about them! Meanwhile, stay dry!

  2. Man! Joy's sending you treats? If I come over, will you share them? : ) Grandpa and I have been wondering if any of the Evergreen LIBRARIANS are reading your blog . . . ? I'm enjoying our Hanging with Friends games, even if you do use words that I'd never think of in a million years! And I'm loving the blog. You guys take wonderful pictures -- that area is just incredibly beautiful. I need to look up the bear observatory and refresh my memory about what that set up is. I couldn't believe the video of the poor woman who I assume was stranded in the outhouse while the bears prowled around outside it! Eeek!
