July 4 in Girdwood

GGG is 95!

 Grandpa brings us so much JOY and we are so amazed that he is 95!

What 95 year old can keep up with these 3 youngsters for a couple games of croquet!?!  Our kids didn't know that you could purposefully smack an opponent's ball.  I'm kinda bummed Grandpa taught them as that is all they want to do now, hit eachother's balls off the grass and into the woods!  haha!

Nana visits

 Thank you Nana for visiting this summer and for going on all our AK adventures.  We love our time with YOU!

Boating with the Smiths

 Boating makes these 2... GIDDY!

 Noah's first halibut... makes me GIDDY!  Love Love LOVE Halibut on the grill!

 Boating is always more FUN with friends along!

Our 1st PWS bear sighting. This bear started moseying down the same beaches we had just walked on 30 minutes prior!  Yikes!

 baby starfish + 3 cute girls.

 Don't mind me and my unflattering attire!  I was cold and I did NOT care what I looked like! Ha!

 Parker's 1st halibut!  Yay!  This guy was a pain to reel in b/c the line got stuck around his tail.  Poor Parker was reeling it up... horizontally (is that a word!?!).
