If you haven't read my earlier posts Southeast Alaska has been experiencing an unusually warm, dry summer. We joke that we brought the drought with us from New Mexico into the rain forrest of Southeast Alaska. This time of year it is usually overcast & rainy with temperatures in the mid 60's. The day I went fishing was this typical type of weather. The rest of the week the clouds disappeared. It was warm & dry with temperatures in the high 70's. We took advantage of this and went hiking in the forrest.

I love this photo! It became so hectic on deck we didn't have time to bleed the salmon and put it in the hold so we tossed it into the bait bucket to make room on deck. |
Salmon fresh from the ocean! |
Rob is the best! Not only did he stay home with Gage all day so I could go fishing, he gutted & cleaned all the fish we caught which was 9 coho salmon and my halibut. |
Gage explaining which boat I was on. |
Um, Todo? I don't think we are in Alaska any more. This reminds me of our trip to Hawaii. This is not the weather I was expecting from our trip to Alaska. |
Besides brushing his teeth, Gage has added shaving to his morning routine. I love this little guy! |
Now that Petersburg has become a tropical paradise we bought Gage a pair of sunglasses. |
Rob and Gage showing a little skin as we walk in the woods. |
We came across a little creek on our walk. |
Gage loved throwing rocks in the water. |
We had a great day as a family. |
Another beautiful day, Gage discovered a neighbor's dog water bowl and decided it was a wading pool. His bare legs are so cute. |
How is the banana the only thing in focus? |
What did Rob and Gage find? |
A construction site with an excavator and dump trucks. |
A quiet moment while dinner cooks on the grill. They are so relaxed. |
Rarely I am up before Gage in the morning. If I was, there would be a lot more pictures like this. |
