Time to take the tent down, Justin and Amy's home away from home.






Last minute photos before leaving for Anchorage!

We will miss these new friends, at both places.

CELEBRATING MIRANDA'S 12TH BIRTHDAY!!
WE WILL BE SO SAD TO MISS HER PARTY!

BEAUTIFUL 

12 YEAR OLD!!!

On our way to the airport, leaving Diamond M Ranch!

I had never seen a rainbow around the sun before.  This was fantastic, on our way to Anchorage.

At the Anchorage airport, using that last energy before flying home!









WE WILL MISS THEM SO VERY MUCH!
SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE!

Fireweed is blooming in Anchorage on our way home!

Made it back to our RV around midnight!

OTHER ACTIVITIES

Diamond M Ranch RV Park has been fun in lots of ways!









There's biking, basketball, and just playing with new friends!!

Sawyer, A.J., Justin, and Josiah had a great game going!

What an awesome pool and waterslide in the small town of Nikiski, north of Kenai.

Granny took Miranda and Sawyer, and their friends, Sonora and Darius a.k.a. Toad.

The waterslide was so much fun, we all had a great time!!

Justin's photos around the campground!!

THE TIME HAS GONE VERY FAST!!

Fishing along the Shore

July 1, 2011

The next day I went to watch as Justin, Amy, Miranda, and Sawyer fished along the Kenai River!


Justin helps Sawyer get his tackle all ready!

We will see who catches one first, Mom or me!

Getting Miranda all ready to cast her line!

Smiles should bring those fish to my line!

Awe!  Finally my turn!

Great rocks for sitting and watching as well as fishing!

Granny enjoys just being with the family on such a beautiful day!

Our wildlife sighting for the day!

Almost no one on the river was catching anything that day!

This small catch felt good!

A DAY OF FISHING!

June 30, 2011

Charlie, Justin, Amy, and Sawyer went fishing on the Kasilof River.  

Here is the guide, Dave getting everyone ready.  Justin is taking all the pictures,

 so you won't see him in any of them.

IS THIS YOUNG MAN EXCITED OR WHAT??

W0W!  GRAMPS CATCHES THE FIRST FISH!

A 35 POUND KING SALMON!

The day gets long when you are waiting for the fish to bite!

A little excitment comes with even a tiny fish!  Let's keep trying!!

FANTASTIC!!!!
SAWYER AND HIS KING SALMON!!




Learning to take care of the fish before holding it!

A PROUD MOMENT!!
FOR EVERYONE!

I can sat back and relax now!  Let others have a turn!

Helping Dave row into shore!






GRAMPS AND SAWYER AFTER A TERRIFIC DAY!!

Dave fillets the salmon and then the next chores!

The seagulls take care of the rest of the fish!
