cross country

Parker had another successful XC season at TMS.  He raced hard every meet- we are proud of you Parker!

PWS trip- Day 3

Our first ocean weekend was a complete success: boat worked great, amazing weather, seals, otters, fish, everyone loved boating, right amount of food and drinks AND sweet time with the Smiths.  We were all a little sad to leave on Sunday morning.  Our trip home was TOPPED off with a porpoise show as they raced right in front of our boat.

PWS trip- Day 2

The SMITHS!  We get to enjoy life with our good friends on the ocean- can't wait for many more fun memories with this awesome family!

The girls checking out the shore and the woods while the rest are gone fishing!

This bay was full of little rockfish that kept biting the kids' lures.

Savannah found a tiny STARfish

Only one BIG fish was caught… Parker landed a rockfish.

Savannah found a "Mermaid's Purse".  Good thing we had the Smiths there to teach us all about the ocean life.

More starfish!

ABOUT TIME we went to PWS!

WHAT!?! Krispy Kreme in Alaska!?!  We started our boating trip with a dozen HOT NOW donuts.  We all forgot how amazing these donuts are!

WHAT!?! Blue sky, NO clouds, NO wind, NO waves and NO line at the launch on Labor Day weekend.  This made our captain super happy!

our 3 watching the otters

Savannah taking a nap, because she can!

Parker reading Harry Potter on the roof, because he can!

Spaghetti in "Dead Fish Bay".  Most people call this bay, Goose Bay, but I renamed it because it is where salmon spawn… STINKY!

Parker- you stinker!  He switched poses on me at the last minute!

My paddle board served as the weekend Taxi since our dinghy hadn't arrived yet.

Savannah and some hermit crabs.

Taxi Time- we all had to sit/stand super still because that ocean is FReezing!

hermit crab races!

Coke- one of the best parts of camping!

Family of seals!

Noah and Savannah trying to get close to the seal that kept playing "HideNSeek" with us!
