Fisherboy

We spent the weekend at Ivik. Ivik is a group of camps on the northeast shore of Kobuk Lake (Hotham Inlet). While we were there Uyaana did some fishing. He caught his first Northern Pike with a reel. It was a very small pike.




He is making this face because a mosquito landed on his face right between his eyes and he couldn't wipe it off.




Can you see the mosquitoes swarming around him in the pictures?

My Little Archer

Happiness is a New Outhouse

It is, really.



BEHOLD!!! My new unukvik! Ain't she beautiful. Notice the lovely stairs and screened openings. I have been pleading for a new outhouse out at camp for years. My honey finally gave in.




Here is my little archer showing off the plush interior.





Here is the old crapper. How would you like to sit on that on a dark fall night??? Yeah, that's how I felt about it too.




I feel like I have really moved up in the world.


***FYI- Because a few people have asked hehehe,....yes that is a real toilet seat on there, and no it's not going to stay. You can bet your bottom (har har har) dollar that I won't be putting my butt on a regular toilet seat when it is cold out. We will be changing it to the ubiquitous blue foam.**
