Homer in the Fall

We had a great time in Homer at the end of summer. We took this trip in late August. The Jones' let us borrow their RV and it was perfect. We stayed out on the famous Homer Spit for three nights. We explored all the little shops, played on the beach, visited the local musuem and had a campfire. Lucy was in toddler heaven since she had the run of the RV plus all those rocks to throw on the beach!

The Mosers come for a visit

I know this is a really late post, but I didn't want to skip over this fun visit. It was rainy the whole time, but we still made the best of it! The first four pictures are of our hike in the Alaskan rainforest. It's about a mile and a half from Crow Creek Mine in Girdwood out to the bridge over Winner Creek gorge. Along the way, you have to use the hand tram to pull yourself over Glacier Creek canyon. It was a first for us too and it was just beautiful.

These next three are from our side trip up to Chelatna Lake. Brian's dad, Larry, built a cabin there and flew us out for the night. Unfortunately, we got weathered in for an extra night, but we made the best of it. Even though there seemed to be a never ending supply of rain, we got out in the boat and tried some fishing. The boys went on short hike too.

This was just a quick stop at Bird Point along the scenic Seward Highway to stretch our legs and take some photos.

This last picture is of Jack with his Uncle Brian panning for gold in Hatcher's Pass.

A walk at Beluga Point

It was a pretty calm day on the Turnagain Arm. We had a picnic lunch and took a walk around Beluga Point.

Airplane!

Awe, kisses for mommy

Isn't she cute?

We had to stop for a snack.
