Sitka is a mother lode of Native arts and crafts.
We appreciate and love to support Native arts and culture, so we went and watched the Tlingit dancers.
{yes, I had paddle envy. bad. paddles half that size cost $400.}
Jessa and Emeline got out there and danced the raven dance with them during their performance (with my prodding); Kate was suddenly very shy.I spent the evening blogging while the girls slept...this blog thing takes too much time!!...but I am doing it for my dear husband and a few extra special friends. I hope ya'll appreciate it.

I appreciate it, does that mean I'm a special friend? I should be extra special since I'm the only one that comments!
Of course! You are not just a "special friend" you are a super-duper extra-mega mongo-major I-am-so-glad-you-comment superbly magnificent friend! Thank you SOO much!
So I got to your blog through Chelsea's blog! I sure enjoyed your girls during primary and playing on the grass after church! Next time you are in Sitka get a hold of us earlier and we will have to play!
