Remember when running through the sprinkler was about the best thing that happened all day? Well we are there - since our water is hauled in by the truck-load this is a special treat.

Trouble on the first family boat ride
Water-logged engine:
Assistance from the pumps:
The ever mindful watch dog:
Due to a small oversight on the Captain's part the engine compartment flooded! It was an exciting couple of minutes while we pulled to shore, got the kids to the safety of dry land and figured it all out. In spite of all of the colorful language the Captain was spouting the kids don't seem to have picked up any new vocabulary ;)

More twins!!
A mama moose and her twin calves made a short visit to our yard this week. Who needs to visit the zoo?
Byers Lake ... it's raining it's ... fun?
4th of July weekend was a wee bit wet! Spending it in the best of company made it worth while.
Canoeing with the Bredlies on Byers. The Sorich clan packed a canoe and were kind enough to let us borrow when they were out on a hike.
The rain started Saturday night at 8pm and continued heavily until 11am the next morning. We took pity on some of the soggy tenters and invited them in for a morning of Dr Suess and Cheerios.
Slater playing at the Veteran's Memorial, just a short hike from the camp ground.
Checking out Mt McKinley from the viewing platform. Yup that was the best view all weekend.
Jade's favorite walking partner.
After cheerfully refusing a nap earlier in the day the littlest camper passed out shortly into our hike to the suspension bridge.
Aunt Kelly looking angry about the bugs! They were fierce and we has to sprint to out run them.
Chicks Rule!! That says it all :)
This is what good camping trips are all about.

Twins, twins and more twins
While visiting Anchorage we stopped at three households with twins and a sibling. My kids probably think other families only have kids in pairs!
Hangin' at Camp Clarkson. After 6 attempts to upload the video footage of Slater on the zipline I give up!! You can't see the twins in this picture, but they were in the video :(
Dinner with the Anderson kids, before they headed to the soccer fields.
Time with the Sorich family at the zoo. With these three boys I'm pretty sure the fences were for keeping them out :)

Lake trout VS baby grayling
Fishing is one of the main activities that we engage in at Grandma and Grandpa's house. Grandpa was out waiting for a client and caught two beautiful lake trout, which the kids were fascinated with. After seeing the large lake trout every grayling was deemed a "baby fish".
Gramma giving a tutorial on lake trout cleaning, with extraordinarily attentive students.
Love the face of fishy-adoration!
Many fishing adventures await us this summer. Can't wait to hear Jade's next description on our catch!
