A Whale Tale Of A Day

Bryan took me, Jess, and Steve out fishing on his day off.  While the fishing was not much to write about, the whales were incredible.  I could spend the entire day just watching these beautiful creatures.  It was pretty yucky weather so I couldn't keep the camera still for good pictures, but I tried!

Hello Mr. Humpback Whale!

I didn't know how to edit the video, so just ignore the first 35 seconds ;0)

Happy Independence Day!

Eli sure has changed in the year since the last Fourth of July. 
(Last year)

Here in Craig, Alaska fireworks are done on the night of July 3rd, then the parade and activities are on the 4th.  Eli slept right through the fireworks, so Bryan and I got to enjoy a few quiet moments watching them. 



Lots of rain was forcasted for today, so we brought our rain jackets and enjoyed the day anyway! The parade was...short.  But really fun for Eli to pick up the candy.  He had a great time, and walked around the house later saying "fire, fire fire". He wanted to go see more fire trucks  :)





After the parade we headed down to the Ball Park for the coin hunt, three legged race, and gunny sack races.  There was a huge pile of bark chips with quarters hidden in the top layer and lots of little toys.  Eli had NO interest in picking up the quarters.  That little guy will regret it someday :)




Next was time for some races! Tess and I, Macy and Steve, and Addie and Papa Shane!



 
Jess and I did the three legged race too! 



Happy Fourth of July!!!

All Tuckered Out

Lately Eli has been falling asleep easier when we are out and about. On the plane, in his stroller, sitting on my lap in church, and on a hike. I guess we just have too much fun and wear him out!






And he wouldn't even let go of his shell!





Eli's First Fish

Papa Shane and grandma Patty got Eli his very first fishing pole for his birthday. Bryan was so excited to take him down to the dock!

Beach Combing

My sister in law Jess took really sweet pictures of Eli exploring on the beach today and I just had to share!
