Bal-Aska 2012
So things are getting all jumbled and out of order because my blogging isn’t keeping up with events, but that’s a good problem to have – and we just keep pushing on! 🙂 Last weekend Chris and I went up to Anchorage, Alaska to teach at their first ever Balboa event, Bal-aska – and we had a ball! It was a whirlwind trip of only 3 days plus travel time, but we managed to sneak in a little sight-seeing between classes.
No fancy-pant camera on this trip, this time my phone was in charge of recording memories. And DJing for classes, and mapping out the wild streets of Anchorage. Smart phones and jet planes are 2 reasons I’m glad I didn’t actually live in 1938. Anyway…
Our trusty rental in The Last Frontier
With the promoters and staff of Bal-aska – Patrick, Roxanne & Binky
Chris got in the spirit of Autumn up there –
it’s painful coming home to 100 degree weather!
Friday night’s band – featuring the youngest member of the clarinet section!
Outside of the Saturday venue
This incredible book was one of the weekend’s prizes,
and there was a shriek from every girl in the room when it was announced. 🙂
I snapped a photo as a note to buy it, and my own copy is racing to me right now!
Friday afternoon we stopped by the zoo – who let this animal out of the cage?!
Playful Otter
Polar Paws
Chipmunk in the tree was squeeking and teasing the foxes behind the fence.
Black Bear, Black Bear
Overlooking the bears
Little Campbell Lake
Don’t fall in!
Hiking on one of the Kincaid cross-country ski trails
And Sunday morning we took a scenic drive along the south coast. Beautiful!!
