~ Uncle Dan's Visit ~

Watching a little Rolie Polie Olie before bed.

Boy stuff

Nathan watching Charley, leather belt in her mouth, beating the cats with some plastic hangers!

The boys out sledding.

Charley says 'Look at me! I'm Uncle Daggle! And I have his toque!"

Dan got a little out of hand and had a 'time out'. Dare I say, acting like one of the locals? He's even drinking the local favorite!!

More guns!

The boys stopped and checked out the lake ice that pushed ashore overnight. This happened all the way down the lake. The ice is over a foot thick here - that has to be some massive amount of force to move that amount of ice and crumple it up like a sheet of paper.

A closer look at the ice. Several theories in place from the locals. One is the thought that there may be an open area further south and the wave action from the wind the day before pushed it up. Another hypothesis was this was a result of an earthquake to the north might have caused the lake to swell. Either way, that was a phenomenal amount of force.

This one makes me think of Nathan arriving on some far away planet - he looks like an astronaut.

Surprise, surprise. Nathan getting stuck - again.

We get the idea - it's deep!

Just playing with girls in the yard

"E.T. Phone Home" or No Charley, don't pull his finger!

Having a little dessert with Sean, the medic. Do you think he could find a bigger spoon?

Even more guns! This time on my kitchen table!


So, we're headed back down to the coast this weekend. And this will end Uncle Dan's visit to Takla. He came home with us after our Christmas visit and has been with us ever since! LOL
We hope he had a good time and we had lots of fun having him here.
