The boys in the magic shop. Carson helps with one of the tricks...
You can't see Hank's head, but that is him in the blue sweatshirt. We stopped on the Pier to watch some breakdancing. For the grande Finale, they needed "two really big white guys!" haha Hank got picked.

Golden Gate bridge in the background. It was soo AWESOME!












View of Alcatraz in San Francisco. It was very cool. Sadly the tickets to go out and visit it were sold out, or we would have for sure done it.

Bay Bridge heading into San Francisco. It was quite beautiful.
The Technology Museum in San Jose. This was a wheel chair race that Hank and Jared did.
Jared won.

This was a arm wrestling contest at the museum. Jared and Hank competed again of course.


This time Hank won!

About this time last year, Jared's team down in Anchorage won their State hockey tournament. All the boys shaved their heads in the lockerroom. Since that time, Jared has been trying to talk Carson into shaving his head, but Carson has said NO, until today.


So much hair! I think the cat thought a new critter had moved into the house!


It looks nice!
(and saves me money on hair cuts!).



This year, since Jared's team won state, they decided on the no shave thing....which considering their age, is funny. I think there only about 4 of them that can actually grow face hair! haha
Jared is lucky to have that Italian gene...he has no problem!

Jared's hockey team had State Tourney in Anchroage this weekend. The first game against the Northstars was 9-0. No problem. The second game against South Central different story. The Lions were playing catch up the whole game. They finally tied it towards the end. We all thought it would go into overtime. They had a faceoff in the Wolves end. Jared had a good draw and then got a nice bounce his way, made a move around one guy. Time was running out...he shot and scored with literally 1 second on the clock..Lions Win! 5-4

Game 3 vs the Allstars, again no problem 9-1.
Final game against the Wolves again.
Anthem before the championship game.
It was another nail biter, except this time, we always had the lead.
They pulled their goalie at the end, and Jared took a shot on the empty net (as the goalie was leaving the ice, he realized our team got possesion, so he tried to get back) and he threw his stick at the puck. So Jared got a penatly shot, but he missed.
but
They still won 3-2.
Alaska State Champs.
First time for every player except 3.

Jared had 12 points in 4 games. We had 5 players in the top 6 of overall scoring of all 4 teams.


They had to San Jose in 3 weeks for Regionals!




The second time he has had this trophy in his hand. Last season with an Anchorage team....it felt much better to win it as a Fairbanks player...(to me anyways!).
State Champs U16 Tier I
