Kathleen's big King

We went with Ryan, Kathleen & Larry. Kathleen caught the first ones - yup double reds right off the bat. Wasn't super hot fishin this year, but it was steady. The weather was extremely hot though - close to 80.

True fisherman "that big one is mine"

Another cute video of Chason bringing in another

The Crew

Here are the Kings we kept. Caught probably 20 or so.

Say Cheese!

Chitna 2013

Look Mom - no hands!!

The race is on

Memorial Day Fun

Monday we went out to Granny Barb's & cleared some brush. Chason was doing his part to scoop up leaves.

Moose Camp

Chason spent the weekend in a little tent in James's room. He liked it so much that James decided to make a moose camp in our living room when we got home Sunday. They slept out there all night by the "camp fire".

"Trust me, I do this all the time"

Taking turns driving the tractor

They ran all the batteries down except the one in the tractor - so they took turns riding in the trailer. Chason was drumming his fingers - like "c'mon - faster!".

4-Wheelin & Tractor Fun

Chason & James had so much fun riding around.

The boys working hard

While the big boys (James & Scott) worked on Scott's garage, the little boys (Chason & James) were taking a break from playing. So cute!

Pee stop

May Snowmachiners

We stopped at the top of the pass on the way down to Soldotna over Memorial Day weekend.

Snow in May???!!!!!!!

Home-Sweet-Home

Daddy & Chason put a little branch on the front step & some ptarmigan feathers around the yard for them. We weren't sure if they were going to like it or not - but they've settled in (especially since Daddy covered the eves on our deck).

More bird house building pictures

We decided the little tree swallows that returned again this year should have a nice home - instead of living inside the eves of our front deck.

Mother's Day Gift

Chason & Daddy built me a bird house for Mother's Day.
