Compilation from Layni

It snowed and snowed last week.. Also after it snowed the streets were buzzing with snowmobiles. The road soon became nothing but mushy snow and a lot of mud. It is better now, with warm weather - up to 60 and 65.

Today me and grandma went walking in 40* [with wind YIKE’S].As we were walking we saw a Marten [it’s a squirrel looking thing, it has a hump towards the back. It’s a little squirrel compared to the ones in Texas. Editor’s note: Locals say this is not a marten, but a ground squirrel. We sent pictures already.

Here in Wainwright almost everyone has a dog, except they all have their dog chained up outside. If they were lucky they would have a dog house. There’s this one dog that looks like Beethoven. I don’t know his name so I call him Beethoven the 4th. And Roscoe is a female dog that we really like. We have petted her.

Grandma and I counted 14 trampolines, but we’re puzzled on how they get them up here? It cost a lot just to buy a trampoline; a whole other story is the cost of shipping it all the way up here.
