Alaska...

So Sean, Jonathan and Ernie (mom's hubby) went on an Alaskan fishing trip. Ernie stayed for 6 days and the other two stayed for 11. This was Sean's dream trip. The bonus for the wives was that they each brought home 50 pounds of salmon. Mama loves me some salmon! This is a very common thing to see around there apparently.
During their fly-in...

I'm guessing Sean won that day:)

This was from the last couple days of their trip. I'm guessing they were all fished out. Jon and Sean hiked up to a glacier.

Glacier


Fresh Mountain Water...

150 lbs of fish. Sean and Ernie's box of fish came in with their luggage, still frozen. Jonathan's somehow did not make it on the plane. It went from Alaska to Philadelphia. It made it back to Phx the following evening, still cold. whew!

A day's catch... Salmon

They did a fly-in with a guide for a day... they flew over some glaciers and landed on a lake somewhere...this was a few days before the same kind of plane crashed in Alaska. Yikes...

Co-pilot Jonathan...

The guide grilled them up one of the salmon they caught right on the boat...

Sean looks like a mini person in this picture...

They stayed with some of Ernie's friends for a few days. The guy travels all over the world for hunting trips. These are all his animals. Crazy!

When they would finish fishing, they would bring their fish to this kid and he would fillet and pack and freeze them.

Glad you're home and that you've forgiven us for the small surprise we got while you were gone:)
