Summer Vacation Pics

Here are a few pics from our vacation. The big group is everyone that vacationed together in Branson, and yes they are all wearing T-shirts with my picture on them since they threw me a surprise 40th B-day party (Thanks KM!!!). Other pics are Nick's first day of school this year, a double rainbow near our house, and a picture with my Grandfather in Minnesota. More soon. Storm

Finally!

Well, the Olympics are finally over and now we can get back to our normal lives. Which means downloading and posting vacation pics. Since we last posted we spent 11 days traveling, visiting St Louis, Branson and Minnesota. We saw lots of friends, a great many relatives and had a great time (although it was waaaay too hot!)

So here are some photos. Before we left on our trip I made a quick journey down to the Kenai river to procure some Red (Sockeye) Salmon for our freezer. The first pic is of the great view I had looking at Mt Redoubt which was across the inlet from the river, the second pic is of all my fish. We also have a picture of the boys posing in one of the many climbing areas at the City Museum in St Louis, and of Alex struggling to reel in nice big Pink Salmon. Lastly we have Alex and Max posing in their favorite tree out at the Eagle River Nature Center.

Right now we are just getting back into the school routines. Nick started 2nd grade this week, Alex starts Kindergarten on the 26th and Max goes to Pre-school the week after that!! Our house might actually be quiet for a few hours each week!!!! How strange that will be. I will keep posting photos as I get to them, no promise they will be in order though. Thanks for looking.
