More McKinley

McKinley loves to make 'snow cookies' and eat them.  

Hiker girl in Valdez, AK

Look at her climb.  She is one determined little girl.  

Camping in Lowman, Idaho after visiting Mari & Charles in Boise a few years ago.

I love you Dad!

Down & dirty.  Good times in the great outdoors.

Making snow cones with Mom.  "I think I have brain freeze!" ; )

Building big Legos.  Start them young.  Such concentration.  

"How do you like my creation Mom?"

BRRR!  "Whoa…we're really inside a snow cave that Dad built w/ us.  

Do you think we should sleep in here Stephen?"

Princess Legos….does it get any better than that for a 4 year old girl?

Time to toot her own horn in her tutu.

"Do you wanna build a snowman?"

Now this is what we call snow in Alaska!

Remember this dress Mari/Sammi?  Yes, this is McKinley modeling one of her cousin Sammi's dresses.

Fun!

Do you ever feel this way at Costco?  Always love shopping there, but can be exhausting.

McKinley barely fit in the cart to sleep.  

McKinley's balance bike.  Her first 'real' bike and it's pink!  Hooray!

"Would you like an Easter egg?"

"Look at all these lingonberries that I picked with my Dad in Denali." 

I can't wait to taste the jam he makes.  Mmmm…"

Carhart kids w/ super Sage!

Climbing rocks in Denali National Park.

Visiting lighthouses when we visited Grandma and Grandpa in 

New Brunswick, Canada a few years ago.  

Grandma and Grandpa will have to remember all the names of places for me.  

Selfie w/ Daddy.  Trying to be cool w/ the shades on.

Picking lingonberries, McKinley and Daddy in Denali National Park, 2012.

More berry picking.

Peggy's Cove

A wonderful tourist attraction we got to see while

visiting Grandma and Grandpa on their mission in New Brunswick, Canada.

"Oh no..do I really have to eat this?"  YUCK!"

I just love this picture of McKinley.  I felt the same way until I learned how to break it apart.

The lobster was delicious and the hospitality of the Doskas family was incredible.

I believe they live in St. John.  Correct me if I'm wrong Mom.  

There were so many wonderful people that took care of Mom and Dad on their mission because Mom and Dad were taking care of them by their super service.

McKinley's first day of Preschool.  4 years old.

Hiking w/ kitty in Hatcher Pass.  

Riding the bike in PJ's is the best; especially on the new gravel for the walkway.

Cheering Daddy on for one of his running races in Hope, AK

Love those leaves

Hi!  How's it going?

Camping at Quartz Creek on the Kenai in AK. August 2012

Rapunzel at Preschool. 2012

Christmas stockings are so fun to wear on your feet. 

McKinley is a super Santa helper.
