Alaska...Part II

Here is the greatly anticipated part II of the Alaska trip. I wish I would have gotten things posted sooner, as many are very anxious to see the great plethora of fish brought home by Kim and myself. We also did visit Hatcher's Pass and visited a lake where a baptism took place when I was a missionary. Overall, it was a wonderful time had by all. We are very grateful to the Child's for the great hospitality shown to us.
Last but not least was our trip down to the Kenai Peninsula. This was the highlight of the trip for Kim who could speak of nothing else other than catching an Alaskan Salmon. Dave, the aforementioned friend from our last post, took time off work to take us down to the "hot spot" for fishing. Everyone knows someone who has their "spot" for fishing. Whether or not this was truly his "spot", it didn't matter, the fishing was excellent.



Looking ready to catch some fish!

These pictures below were taken just after midnight on June 21, the summer solstice. As we were leaving, it was amazing to Kim and I how many people were coming in to fish.






























It was a wonderful trip to say the least. How wonderful it is to have 2 aunts in town to take care of us when we decide to make the jaunt to the Land of the Midnight Sun.

Wow! Amazing pictures! It's so funny to me to see Kim with that huge fish - what a good mix of girly-girl and down-home-girl!
