Here a few random pics:
Devin deconstructing Kyla's pink fridge from her wedding.
Did you know paint just peeled right off a fridge?
we made tie-dye shirts in young women's
isn't Alaska beautiful?
In July we got to go to Kenai, AK and Devin went dip-netting with some people we know. I went along, but wasn't allowed on the boat for the dip-netting part since I have not yet gained my Alaska residency.
But they ended up catching 100 sock-eye salmon...
(Here's a portion of the catch)
It's pretty cool how it works-they get in the boat and stick these large nets in. Then the fish swim right into the nets, and wa-la! You got your salmon.
These people are doing it from the shore, but you get the idea. It can be done both ways.
Afterwards, we were on the beach for quite a while we filleted and rinsed off the fish. Then we drove home the next day, and washed and sealed all 100 fish.
Look at the loaded down fridge. And this was when we still had a quarter of the way left.
Talk about a lot of salmon.
After our Kenai trip, we were back home and did a lot of working and normal busy life. We got one more camping trip in, and one last round of fishing in for the season. Devin and I went with Bret, Britta, and their boys. Easton loved taking his fishing pole out there and "catching the big one."
In August we got to do down to Utah and see my family and my brother Zach one last time before he took off on his mission. It was so fun to see them, and to spend some time with Zach. Here are some pics of our trip:
When we went in to Days Market to visit our old co-workers, we ran into Jordan Thompson who grew up with Devin in Alaska. He is serving his mission in Provo right now. It was pretty crazy to run into him!
Zach's good friend Austin was his "greeter/host" who picked him up at the MTC
In October he will take off to Paraguay!
And now we are back in Alaska, soaking up the last few days of warmth that we are going to get. The other morning was beautiful-
next up: SNOW!
