Bill, Jesse, and Terrence went over to Bristol Bay this summer to help run Grandma and Grandpa's fishing tenders there, Jade V, and Jade VIII - along with cousins Aarick Carlson and Jesse James, and friend Daniel Jones. The top picture they are showing their Bristol Bay version of the Jericho Road pose...
Jesse graduated from Sodotna High (SoHi) on May 20, 09. As Senior Class president he conducted the graduation, also sang a song with his swing choir buddy. The graduates walk in under a large decorated star (our mascot). His Carlson cousins that also graduated this year, Kammi and Lacey are "posing" with him under the star.
We loved Switzerland and the Alps. The concert here was in a train station. We found some great souvenirs, Bill found a great car! The swiss emblem with the lion is carved in a mountain in Lucerne.
We stopped at a picturesque little village in France and the band played a concert in the town square, right by the carousel. Jesse is in the percussions section, and Dallin plays the saxophone.
Jesse, Dallin, Bill, and Christine went to Europe with the Soldotna High School Band in March 2009. We flew in to Paris and the band performed a concert on the steps of the cathedral on the highest mountain in Paris.
