Aaron as an Eskimo!

If you are friends with Aaron on Facebook, you have probably already seen these pictures.  I am mainly posting these for my dad and our grandparents.  If you have no idea what I am talking about, let me explain.

Aaron had an opportunity to work in the villages (Bush) of Alaska for two weeks.  If you have a map handy, I'll tell you where he went.  If not, just ignore the rest of the paragraph.  He flew from Anchorage to Katzebue.  From there, he got on a Black Hawk Helicopter and flew to Kobuk.  He arrived Sunday night (April 12th).  They were there until Friday when they got on their snowmobiles and drove to Shungnak.  He was there Until Wednesday (April 21st).  He flew back to Katzebue and then home on the 22nd.  Here are a few of MY favorite pictures.


Inside the helicopter going to Kobuk. We had to hold luggage on our laps.

Riding the sleds on our way to Shungnak. I took this holding the camera out in front of me.

We are happy to have him home but glad he enjoyed himself.  He wished he could go next year but too many other doctors want to go.  We are glad he had this experience!!
