We’ve been enjoying a great dump of snow so far in November, 2006. We have some more pictures of Torsten and Carrie out sledding.
Torsten Movies
For the grandparents (and anyone else who thinks there is no such thing as a perpetual motion machine!). We’ve got three small Torsten video clips available.
Halloween 2006
Torsten has been enjoying being Nemo for over a month–and finally Halloween arrived! Torsten enjoyed his first symphony with Carrie (Matt was on travel)–it was a Halloween symphony and Torsten was one of the costume finalists! Pumpkin carving, trick or treating, and all of the regularly Halloween fun was great! Many pictures and friends are in the spooky Halloween Slide show.
Carrie and Torsten visit Houston
Tortsen and Carrie had a great visit to Houston. (Matt was in North Carolina at the North American Symposium on Bat Research–an excellent conference, but Matt missed out seeing the family!) Torsten loved visiting with grandparents despite the vicious mosquitos. Catching up with former Juneau-ites Carrie, Adam, and Megan was a great part of the visit as well. Check out the whole slideshow.
Juneau in the Fall
We did manage to spend time in Juneau. It was a very rainy fall (we hit 60” of rain for the year by Oct 1). Lots of playing inside as well as keeping busy with work, teaching, tile painting, Torsten thoroughly enjoyed dancing to the accordion at a Sons of Norway gathering.
We’ve got a few photos from walking out to the Glacier, walking around the neighborhood, and dancing to the accordion at the Sons of Norway at the Fall 2006 slide show.Tracy Arm Tour
Torsten and Carrie went on down to Tracy Arm with Rob, Erica, Sammy, and Izzy. Whales are big, ice is cold, glaciers are cool (especially calving sea water glaciers). Matt was doing his civic duty (jury duty). Check out the photo highlights.
Prince of Wales
We had a great week on Prince of Wales Island–full of bats at night and exploring the Island (and entertaining Torsten) during the day. Check out the whole trip at http://talus-and-heavner.com/200607POW/
Glacier Bay Flightseeing
Dave, Carrie, Torsten, and Matt went for a flight seeing trip to check out Glacier Bay National Park. As usual, Dave’s excellent piloting was a great way to see Southeast Alaska from above. The park overflight was amazing–to see Muir Glacier, both arms of the Park, and the icefields and mountains leading up to Mt. Fairweather. Check out the photo highlights–or if you really want to see all the photos, they are available as well.
