4 day weekend--first half

Because we don't work on Mondays, and because tuesday is a holiday we have 4 days off!  (Well we have to go into work tomorrow for 2 hours to make up the difference of only having a 7.5 hour holiday rather than 9.5 hours, which is our work week.

On friday we went to the University of AK -Anchorage Seawolves hockey game.  There were many bulldogs in lipstick there.  It was pretty fun.  And definately a colorful crowd.  But I guess I should have been prepared for that considering America's favorite hockey mom.  This was my first experience with hockey.  It was a pretty strange game, but it was kind of fun.  THe players were always moving and slamming into teh walls.  Kari who went with us laughed each time it happened.  It was pretty amusing.  The seawolves ended up losing, but it was still fun.

On saturday we didn't do too much.  We spent all afternoon putting out our snow tires.  We decided we didn't want to spend another 6 months sliding around so we found some on craig's lis for a pretty good deal.  The best part was that they were on rims, so we were able to change them ourselves.  During Saturdya evening we went to Kincaid chalet for the Ak Tri Club party.  I'm now officially a member.  It seems like it will be pretty fun.  They have a lot of clinics and things that you can do as a member of the club.  The first activity that I plan on participating in is the river swim.  H2Oasis is this indoor water park that has a 200 meter river that they're renting out so the club can go swim around the river before the water park opens.  It sounds like fun.  

Today we went over to a friend's house to watch them brew beer, because we've been wanting to start doing that.  It was pretty fun.  Basically a lot of boiling and sterilizing.  THey were making a holiday porter, so it had a bunch of pumpkin pie spices.  It smelled really good.
