When u r havin fun in alaska!
Wow.
Here we are, the 17th of july! Where did the time go? It definitley went by fast but there were many daya where thet felt as if thet never ended, especially with it always being light here.
I was journaling today and realized we have 8 more daya at fishcamp and then 5 more days in girdwood before heading back to redding. So many words oir pictures cannot ex press what I have been through...good things,hard things,challending,stretching and rewarding things that I dont think would happen outside this experience. I am definitley exhausted but ready to still push,through and enjoy this last week.
On the 13th if this month, tobey (calebs dad) came out with two friends from redding,a father named randy and his daughter named jen. They stayed for a week andwere great company! I was just gettinf used to cook for three hungry men(caleb,toby,josh) and then I was cookin'for 6! They helped me every time with the dishes tho...that saved my life! Randy was quite the hoot...he helped me peel the fresh shrimp,clean them (de-vein) and boil shrimp! Which wereveryyyyyuummmy,in case u were wondering. Jen was super sweet and showed me adorable pictures ifher two sons will and jack. I showed her wedding pictures.bey took all of us to see the beautiful glacier inbetween mountains called nelly wan (sp?) It was this massive glacier that had been formed over thousands of years! ( ill post pics when I get home,from the phtos taken with our camera.) There was a hiking spot up the side of the glacier that was obviously on the side of the mountain sowe could get a better view. We sW chunks fall and heard them splash, which was pretty awesome! We had a picnic up top,on a beautiful sunny day.
One of my fav. Moments in alaska for sure. There were also clearwater ponds up in the mountains,and yes,u guessed it, josh and caleb jumped in! I was lactually bumed I didnt bring my bathing suit..but Jen had the greatest idea...why dont we leave and u and josh...yes...i am going to say it...Skinny dip! (we r married..ok? ) so while everyone else climed further down..we laughed,jumped in,screamed because it was freezing glacier water,and jumped right out! Number 2
on a great alaskan moment haha!
We have had a few accidents while being here, of course most of them happen to me...i fell down pretty hard on my bumm on our hike to the glacier anad have a big bruise to prove it!.
I also hada real scare with our oolld oven. Apparently it was lit with prpane,but it didnt,catch the flame. So for about a half hour prpane had been running. I didnt know this,so iwent to l
