We had a tag for a caribou and decided to go with Troy on 2 four-wheelers out the Denali Highway. We weren't really thinking we would have a chance to shoot but thought it would be a nice outing with berrypicking and a picnic......with no expectations...we were excited to have a chance to harvest this nice small bull.....perfect meat for the winter and easy to handle. The kids really enjoyed the day and it was a nice time spent together!!! Perfect weather and the berries were prolific!!!!

The kids really had fun on Uncle Troy's 4wheelers!!!

Amelia hiked WAY UP Reindeer mountain last week to appease me in looking for bigger, better berries than were in our yard......or anywhere else that was easier to get to than climbing straight up a mountain. We now call her "the mountain goat!"....we found berries and now I can't stop seeing blue......

You can see how far up we are above the Jack River.....Reid looks so tiny in that sea of Fall tundra. With our buckets full of berries...we are all smiles!!!!

Amelia and her friend Oliver hang out in the back of the truck while I sell "goods" at the Farmer's Market. This year was the first and it proved successful....we're hoping to make it bigger and better for next season. I sold lettuce, kale, raddishes, rhubarb, carrotts, blueberries, jams/jellies, dog treats, baby hats and some jewelry, oh and a few baked goods.......and some of Amelia's jewelry and notecards.......
