You must get up very early in Alaska to see a sunrise!

Today Charlie and our workamper friend Rich are going on a Charter Fishing Trip!

Deb and I are going to HOMER, AK with them to find our own advernture and hopefully to bring fish home for cooking!  We left at 3 am and watched as these pictures came on the sunrise!

CHARLIE
AND RICH PREPARING TO LEAVE FOR THE DAY!

IS THIS ALL I AM GOING TO CATCH??????

HALIBUT!  JUST THE REASON WE CAME !!

RICH CAUGHT A KING SALMON AS WELL AS HAILBUT.  THANKS FOR SHARING THE MEAT WITH US!

Halibut everywhere!  Each person had a limit of two!

Our two halibut are fillets in the freezer now and will be many meals!

Deb and I had breakfast after the guys left and then enjoyed this visitor center.  It had wonderful exhibits and films to watch.  There was a walkway in the back that took you down to the water.
  We also found a great bakery in Homer!

As we walked down to the Homer spit, we enjoyed watching this juvenile eagle with his catch!  He was so busy eating and watching, I was able to get quite close to him for pictures!

Then back to Kenai and to our campsite for a day or two of rest!

Olivia, the potbelly pig decided to make her home our front yard for a day.  She has only been by to say hello since then!

These goats are around the ranch and get petted as tours of kids come!  The white momma is a little more shy for petting.

This is OBAMA the LLAMA, interacting with Cali the dog.  Trying to make a new friend!

This week we have had a few days of rest and a few days of work and learning!

IT IS GOING TO BE A FUN SUMMER!
