Alaska Adventure

This year my Dad organized a fishing trip to Alaska and he invited Andy to come along on the adventure. The boys (Dad, Uncle Robert, Uncle Glen, Andy, Jake, Russell, and Steve) flew Ketchikan on Sunday September 14th and flew back on Thursday September 18th.

The boys. Love Russell's fist pump.

Flying into Ketchikan.



The airport in Ketchikan is on an island and you have to take a ferry to get to the mainland.

Andy, Uncle Glen, & Uncle Robert on the ferry.



They fished from sun up until sun down just about everyday. Andy says, "This was the best fishing experience of my life." He really enjoyed reeling in the big ones.

Russell-- he accidentally fell off the dock one day. He said it was really cold.

So proud.

 I'm glad the boys had a good time. Hopefully they can make another trip to Alaska in the future.

Our freezer is officially full of fish. I'm not sure what we are going to do with all of the fish, since I won't eat it.
