Oh Alaska!


In no order, Our Trip to Alaska.
7/11/14 to 7/21/14

Grandpa and Cailyn looking over the Bay in Homer.

Hansens and Wrights are like Peanut Butter and Jelly! 
Very dear friends who come to fish with mom and dad every summer. 

Cailyn collected broken sea shells and added some lupin to make them pretty. 

We spent a lot of time smoking fish! It was so nice the whole time we were there!

Corey and I limited out and were so happy! The girls were very excited too!

One for everyone!

In Homer enjoying the amazing weather. These girls love Grandma and Grandpa Hansen!



Wish I had been able to take more pictures. 

My silly baby announcement. Yes, baby #3 is due late February. 

This girl had to touch every fish we brought home. 

Corey caught the very first fish! He totally looks like a local Alaskan in this picture. 
He belongs on the Kenai. 

Oakley doesn't like kids but she LOVED my girls. They played with her everyday and they really became good friends. 

My dad teaching Corey the set up to catch sockeye. You actually just snag them in the mouth and its all luck and timing but whatever. Its a big fish and fun fight! I loved fishing everyday with my hubs. 
This trip was a dream. I was so happy to be home!
I didn't realize just how much Alaska was a part of me. I will always feel like Sterling is my home and have a sense of peace when I'm there. 
I can't wait to go back!
