How does your garden grow.....










Valdez 2014










Valdez was fun as always this summer. It was especially fun because the Astles joined us. We were there Wednesday through Monday and then the men stayed on for a week of scout camp. 

It was really fun seeing a black bear at the fish hatchery. He stayed and ate fish after fish. It was awesome because we were a safe distance away. We watched him for about 45 minutes. We also did some pink fishing and caught pink after pink. Every member of our family caught one! I caught about 30!

On the drive home Liz and I stopped at Worthington Glacier and made our annual trek up there.

Fishing and Falling In




My dad took Mitch and I on a halibut charter for our birthdays this year. It has been a very long time since the last time I went on a charter. I had fun but was so sad when a week later our freezer got left open for a week while we went to Valdez and we lost all of my share of the fish!




When we went down to the Kenai River this summer both Jack and Winnie fell in the river. Jack just fell in a shallow little area. but Winnie fell off the grates into the rushing river! She was protected and brave. She grabbed onto the grate and held on until someone pulled her out a few minutes later.

First Time at Portage Glacier








After 30 years of being in Alaska I finally went on the Portage Glacier cruise!
