Erins Parents and brother came out to visit in July. It was so good to see them. Although they came during a cold streak. It had been gorgeous weather before they came and then cold and rain. The day after they left, the skies opened and it was in the 60's. We told them they have to turn around and come right back to experience the gorgeous Alaskan summer the right way.
Going on a fun hike.
I LOVE Jon's..."come hither" look.
Our Sweet Gage!
The girls were the leaders and our protectors from bears. We saw quite a bit of bear scat on the trails. When we first moved here the girls had a "Be Bear Aware" class where they learned this song to sing while hiking to keep bears away. It's a fact...when the Viens kids are around..I don't think a bear will come with all the noise our kids make.
Jon does NOT look amused!!
One of the many waterfalls that are everywhere around here. Freezing cold glacier water

Linny Lou LOVES her Grammy!
We went to Seward a couple of days and this was taken at our campsite. It rained on us the whole time but we were camping right on Resurrection Bay and we saw so many whales and belugas which made it worth it!! AMAZING!!!
This picture is with Thunderbird Falls in the background. Another hike we took.
This picture melts my heart.
As does this handsome man!!!
Dall sheep grazing on Turnagain Arm. They are the most incredible climbers.
My father chartered a salmon fishing excursion for silver salmon. He was the only one of the boat to catch his limit! Yup...he's pretty amazing!
Our kids adore their Uncle Jon. He was so good with them and had no problem making Gage smile. We miss you Jon Boy!!!!
