Go ahead, go shred.

Who knew Anchorage has a perfect beginner ski hill (Hilltop) right in the middle of town? It's a mere five minutes from where we're house sitting! Boodah, Boppa, and Alex took advantage of the blue sky for some afternoon shredding.

It was Alex's first time ever down-hill skiing, but you'd never know it. He conquered the mountain no problemo, and left with perma-grin. Good times were had by all. What was Stokely doing? Hmm.... (boodah and boppa are the tiny dots in the background).

Apres ski nachos in Kevin's honor. And once again Boodah used his hang-around-and-look-cute routine to score more sugar. (Birthday cake.)



And after all that, a nice evening dinner with Team Wilyo. Stokely actually stayed awake for a lot of it. In fact, today may have been a record for awakeness for the old Stokester Von Bering. Lots of eye opening time.

Here are some of Mister's favorite tricks. "Skiing and jumping house!"
