In October, I was lucky enough to visit to the Pribilof Islands for two weeks. My first long solo trip since motherhood. It was such a treat to focus on work, and the days flew by. I didn't worry about the family at all because Sharon and Bob came to look after the home team.
THANK YOU both for all your help and love xo
Happy Light reading: a rare still moment for both boys
A visit to the beach with Vera and the boys
The kids (and Dustin) loved their time with grandparents; lots of time for reading, running on the pump track, seeing friends, and just spending time together.

It's Fall.. time for racking leaves and duck hunting
And, making a bird house with Grandpa Bob
The Pribilofs were a sharp contrast to Cordova. No trees, cold winds, and powerful surf.
I spent the first week at St. Paul. Days were crammed with seabird and rat prevention activities in the school, including daily field trips to the blind at the fur-seal rookery.
An evening hike up Bogoslof, one of the old Volcanic domes. The lava tube caves are amazing, and it was the first time I'd explored them.
I then flew over to St. George, and spent a week with the kids there.. doing more seabird and rat prevention activities. I was weathered in a couple of extra days, and we squeaked in a great field trip up to High Bluffs with the older students. Such a treat to be back on the island, and spend time with the kids. I love it.
We ran into the reindeer herd on our way up to High Bluffs
