~Just Another Day~

First of all this was Cory's idea. Not mine. Well, the Mohawk was Cory's idea. He woke up on Saturday and said, "What do you think about giving Gabriel a Mohawk?" So that night, before bed we sculpted and styled and shaved our little boys' hair into a fantastic hawk. I did have a hand in the blue department, which we dyed on Sunday afternoon. Gabriel was just glad to go along for the ride, but was most excited about the color. We did manage to put it on our home movie and plan to montage it together for the hairpiece of his life. Least all of you freak out... Hair grows back and color is never forever. Gabriel reminds me of a My Little Pony for some reason. Cory says a Punk. Gabriel's vote is for Dragon. Surprise, surprise! It may be off beat and a little strange, but we've all enjoyed the experience.

Halibut

Rock Fish

Ling Cod

I caught this wounderful 47lbs Cod on my first ever deep sea fishing trip 30 miles off the coast of Homer. During the twelve hour fishing trip I caught a total of 11 fish. I caught 6 Cod, 4 Halibut, and 1 Rock Fish. I caught the largest fish of the day and the smallest. I'm not a very good fisherman, but had great luck on this trip and found a new passion for fishing. Although it completly exhausted me and I smelled terribly rank when finished it was exciting to pull fish out of the ocean that were bigger than Gabriel!

4th of July in Seward Alaska

New York City Fun

Money Well Spent

We went down to Homer Alaska the last weekend in May to beach comb and take in the sights. Gabriel found a Kiddie Boat and just had to take a ride. Two rides in fact! I suppose you could spend the same 50 cents on a newspaper or a pack of chewing gum, though I doubt you could get the same amusement out of it as we did. Just watching Gabriel pretend to be a captain, blowing raspberries at us and drinking coffee gave us a giggle. While walking the boardwalk we met a wonderful dog we all wanted to adopt. Sticks, rocks, shells, sand and paper cups all found their way into the car. But the most memorable part of the weekend was Gabriel bobbing up and down on a pretend boat enjoying the day and 50 cents well spent.
