HOME SWEET HOME!

So as most of you know we just returned from a great, adventurous, 9 day long vacation to ALASKA! It was so much fun. We left on the 24th of July, and arrived in Anchorage at about 3 PM. We drove a long way to Ninilchik, where we stayed for most of the vacation. We stayed in cute little cabins, and were quite entertained by the 3 brothers. The next day we went on a charter boat out halibut fishing.... and guess who caught the biggest fish out of the 12 of us.. ME!! Jared was jealous. It weighed 59 pounds and was so hard to real in! We did a lot of fishing while we were there. We went fishing on the Kenai river almost every day-- and for the first few days we had a hard time catching anything, but it did pick up and Jared ended up catching quite a few fish, along with all of the boys. I caught 4 fish, but I only got one in the net... but who cares! One of the days we went to Homer, and did a little sight seeing. A week later we drove to Seward and stayed the last three nights there. I loved Seward, it was a cute little town! We went silver fishing on charters, which was way fun and we caught lots of Silver Salmon. We went on a day cruise the last day and saw lots of wildlife and a huge glacier! We did a lot of laughing and had a wonderful time, it was a great vacation!

This was on the day cruise- all of the kids :)
