Catching more fish

Shelley, my friend, caught the big one this weekend--sooooooo fun! About 60lbs.

The captain and a halibut.



We camped with Shelley, dan and Aurora this weekend at Anchor Point and it was my first time to tent camp in Alaska. I was to say the least a little afraid of bears eating me alive in my tent, but it didn't happen obviously. It was fun and a beautiful setting--that is the ocean just past the boat. So, the kids loved having extra time to frolic on the beach, so did we!

William and I are teaching the 4-5 yr olds class at VBS. It has been great AND a LOT of work as well. The theme is a cowboy dude ranch. YEE HAW. The children have been precious!

wait no more boat pic is up

Well, there she is. She remains unnamed, but I am sure we will come up with one soon.




This was a week or so ago in Seward just out of Resurrection Bay. It was a beautiful trip out to the Kenai Fjords.




Little freckles on the boat. Love close ups of my sweet ones. They are getting too big. Tonight, I went to tuck them in and couldn't find Julia--but I knew the first place to look...in my bed. There she was beautiful and content - fast asleep.




The waterfalls are so gorgeous here after the snow melts away.

Family Fun

Reeling them in...


Halibut good time!

...We had a lovely visit with family this last week. The men kept us on the boat a lot of the time. We did have one day at the beach where we made a mini bonfire and had hot dogs and smores. It is always like having withdrawls when visitors go, since there is no easy way out of the last frontier.
