Several of us went to Girdwood for the slush cup and my oldest son Aaron's birthday.  Boy were there some interesting contestants this year.  I posted a few cute ones, the hot dog and the tin man.  To see some photos click here 

A great group of kids and their teacher from Kasigluk came to visit with me to day to understand the difference between our culture here in Wasilla and theirs in Kasigluk.  Specifically what businesses we have here that they don't have in their village.  For instance they don't have real estate agents in their village as property is not bought and sold like it is here.  To view this great group of kids, click here.  Nicole Twitchell, Renae Keene, Nastasia Anvil, Lane Andrews, & Tammy Schneidler.  Thanks for coming and sharing with me today!  Kristan

It's true, The Kristan Cole Team, for the second year in a row, won the Matanuska Basketball Associations Championship.  They played Weldin Construction in the championship after a 23-3 winning season. Here is the players list: Howard Tresham, Tom Betti, Brandon Blake, John Schroeder, Levi Rollman, Jeff Kline (not pictured), Takia Johnson, Zac Forsyth (League MVP), and Josh Leutzinger.  Congratulations to them all.  Click here to see the team photo.

My good friends Dale and Robin Hamitt caught this 80 pound King Salmon a few years ago.  Sign up for our free King Salmon Fishing trip for two by emailing me and maybe you can catch one like this too.
