Prince William Sound glacier cruise


Turned out to be a rainy day, but still amazing!

Yes, that is one of the glaciers behind Alex and I.  We heard and saw a calving while there too.


Lots of wildlife to see.  

The Glacier 26 Cruise boat was pretty nice as well.  What a great time together.

Silver salmon at Jim Creek


Alex catches the first fish, right off the bat.
This is about 4 AM.

Yes, it is Brooke...awake at 4:30 AM !
Randy catches a nice silver, way to go.

Brooke takes care of the cleaning so Dad can head into work for the day... Randy gives her a hand.

Making G'ma Schwiethale's sweet pickles


First time to make sweet pickles.
Looks like we picked the perfect recipe to me :)
Thanks to Grandma.  We sure do miss her.
