At the Kenai River Festival the kids all participated in a drawing for an iPad mini. They had to take their passport to education and visit at least 12 booths, having each booth validate their passport. Then at the end of the day we turned in the passports for a drawing for the iPad. The tub they were placing them into was stuffed full and this was the second day with another day to go. Thing 1 was super excited about the possibility of winning the iPad, she’s been asking for one for months now. I gave her the “be realistic dear” talk, trying to help her understand the odds were not in her favor to win.
Ha. Guess I should have saved my breath.
The little stinker won!
When I got the call from the Kenai Watershed Forum I said “No way!!” With over 1000 entries! I think I was excited as I knew she would soon be. We went before he city council meeting that night to have it presented to her. She got to have her picture taken with the Mayor and city council members along with a radio interview!

My baby was on the radio, she’s famous! 😉 She did such a good job on the interview, I am so proud of her!

What a blessing! That little device really has made life easier for us. With a mifi connection and the iPad the kids can Skype again and each of them have some fun and educational games to play for reward time.
Alaska on my mind...
