Erin's new bedroom

A day of sailing with Matt and Russ

We took the boys to Big Lake and got things ready.... it was a gorgeous day


we're ready

backing into the Lake

We docked at a restaurant right there on the lake... it was so fun

We went over to the mouth of the Lake and started fishing... fish were all around, but no luck

heading back

we stopped at this little stream and while we were getting ready, Erin threw a line in and caught a red right off the bat

another one... good grief

Matt and Russ' trip to Alaska

We had such a great time over the Labor Day Weekend with Matt and Russ who raced up here for a fast weekend with us. We crammed in as much fun as we possibly could. They went home exhausted, with 50 pounds of fish.

We stopped to see the reds running on the Russian River

After a morning fishing on the Ninilchik River

Leaving to go halibut fishing on the Cook Inlet. Our good friends John and Kathy Strawn took us out on their boat. We had great success.

We got busy right away

Russ caught one first

Of course Erin caught one... she always does
