We got into home to Soldotna on Sunday, we settled into the house. Kids picking their bedrooms and I unpacking so there would be things for them to do inside. Since it was so cold outside (we came right when they were having a cold streak, the lowest I have seen it is -25) and a ton of snow all around. It does look like a winter wonderland. My parents had gotten the kids and I warm winter coats before we left Oregon. I waited till we got to Alaska to get the other warm gear, I was limited on space to bring it on the plane, or so I thought and I thought they would have better selection for the weather in this area.
Kyle had to work Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday so the kids and I stayed at home inside and play lots of card games and watched lots of holiday movies and drank a LOT of hot chocolate. On Thursday (Kyle's day off WooHoo). We went to Wal Mart in Kenai, Wal Mart and Fred Meyers are the two biggest stores in this area until you go to Anchorage two an half hours away. Looking for Snow gear for the kids. We got snow pants for Kelsie, Jaron and Karlee, Kallie has a pair coming up in the van- I should of packed it in my luggage not the van, my bad. We found gloves for everyone. But the highlight of the trip to Wal-Mart at least for me, the kids would probably disagree and say that it was the new toys they got to buy with money from Grandma, was that Kyle had found these boots that were only two dollars each-the pair not each boot. What a find! The reason they were marked down to two dollars, they were last years model of boot. I got each kid two pairs of boots, I got eight pairs of boots for sixteen dollars-what it would of cost me for one.
While we were out on our adventure we went to the DMV so I could change my license. I couldn't change it because I needed my marriage license, which is in our Storage unit in Oregon. I had to mail away for it and wait 7 to 10 days, hopefully it will come soon.
Once we had gotten all warm clothes for the kids they really enjoyed getting out there and playing. As you can see the blue hat came in handy again.
