A Feast of Kings!

The first king crabs of the season arrived at the harbor Saturday! Grandma Chris called on Friday to make sure we knew the crabs would be arriving. This is the second year that personal use has been closed for kings, so I went down early to make sure we could get us some crab! It has been about three years since we've indulged so it was high time for this treat! It was beautiful day, not a breath of wind, so it was a nice walk down on the docks, and it was nice while we cooked outside!

Tenakee 2008 Hunt

Kevin returned from his hunt with his buddies to Tenakee. Only one deer, but lots of crab and halibut - our freezer is full!

We love a good imagination

Morgan turned this rock into her own personal cell phone! Love it!

Just another Manic Monday .....

I wish it were a Sunday, 'cause that's my fun day, my I don't have to run day

Okay, we're back from the '80s Ü

I worked today from 5:00 - 1:30 - went to the gym, came home, made homemade chicken potpie for dinner, and made North Douglas Chocolate Cake for the dessert auction at Morgan's school - I can bring home the bacon and fry it up in the pan Ü

Sunday, September 7

Lillee & Lorin came over for a visit. We had a great day! We played, made and played with playdough, and made pinwheels. It was great to see them again!

DDDDD Dora

So this was an actual Dora episode.

Dora and her dog Burrito are on the run from the dog catcher - yes, he is really chasing them. Along the way, Dora and Burrito collect 100 keys so that at thend of their journey they can let all of the other dogs out of the kennels. At the end, after Dora and Burrito have released all the puppies, the dog catcher decides he dosn't want to be a dog catcher anymore because he doesn't like it, and decides he wants to be a mailman.

Really Dora?????

Saturday, September 6 - last day of summer

What an amazing day! It got up to 72! I got the tarps and tent hung out to finish drying from the camping trip the weekend before - I'm sure the neighbors who are trying to sell their house and having an open house loved the Clampetts next door.

Morgan enjoyed being outside in her swimsuit!

Angy called to see if we wanted to fishing, so we loaded up the kids and headed out for an evening of fishing out at Amalga Harbor. We had a great time fishing, but no catching. The kids had a blast playing on the beach.

After fishing we decided we'd stop by Lena Beach and make some s'mores. As luck would have it, someone had left a fire going in a pit, so we didn't even have to build our own forward. Of course we paid it forward .... when we were really to go, another party pulled up and didn't have a hatchet to make kindling, so we gave them our spot.
