Hawaii!!

I think the pictures tell the story.  Our family vacation in Hawaii, one night in Oahu and 7 nights in Kauai.

 

Oops its been a while!

Well, if anyone is still reading here are a bunch of pictures from rock climbing, hiking, the dogs (watching the bears) and maybe a few other things.  The computer is being less than cooperative so the order of the photos isn't great.  Should be some more photos on KM's camera, I'll try for those later.  Hope you enjoy.

 

 

Time to fill the freezer

Summer in Alaska and time to fill the freezer with fresh red (Sockeye) salmon.  We headed to Kenai river last week with high hopes and we weren't disappointed.  Nick went with me as my helper and he even got 4 fish all by himself.  All in all it was a great day and we split 37 fish between 2 families.

Summer Pics

Here's a few pics from early July.

KM putting on her best 80's metal look, of course she didn't actually drink the beer...it was just for effect.

Below, Nick met a few new furry friends on the streets of Seward.

Also there is a picture of Grammy and the kids at the Sealife Center.  A few pictures of Scott Babos, who is the one that said I should buy a $5 raffle ticket to get in the Mt Marathon race.  A raffle which I ended up winning so that meant that I had to put up or shutup and actually run the race.  The race is a total of 3.5 miles and 3000 vertical feet.  You can see the racers working their way up the top half of the mtn in one of the pics.  A picture of me after I managed to survive the race ( I made sure my newly repaired wrist was taped up real well!!).  Lastly a picture of the boys holding a King Salmon caught near Montana Creek in the Mat-Su valley.

King Salmon

Hello everyone.  Its been a busy few weeks and we've got lots of photo's, although most of them are on KM"s camera so I'll have to get those uploaded when I get back home. 

First is a picture of Nick's newest friend.  A Great Grey Owl that we met at the Highland games.  Nick is nuts about all things owl and has even postponed his birthday party until the Guardian's of Gahoole movie comes out in September.

Here's a few pics of my first King Salmon, caught with my friend Sean Meadows.  Also a pic of my second King, caught when KM and I went out on the Deshka River together.  I was really hoping that KM would catch a King that day instead of me, but unfortunately it wasn't to be.

That's about it for now.  I'll put up some pics from our great 4th of July weekend when I get home in a week.  I hope you are all having a great summer.

Summer Pics

Hello readers.   Here are few pics from our summer so far.  Its been pretty mellow by our standards due to my wrist healing up (pins FINALLY come out tomorrow!!!) and Kerry's neck healing up.  But we've made the best of it, so here are a few pics.

This was fishing for King Salmon on the Deshka river.  No luck that day, but close!

Here's the view from our camping spot in Seward, not bad for $15 a night.  Plus a quick shot of the new trailer and then the new heavier duty Suburban required to haul the trailer.



Below are some shots from the SeaLife Center in Seward.  One of them has someone elses kid in it, but I thought the SeaLion looked cool so I put it in anyhow.

This one is of Mom with Alex and Max at Exit Glacier.
