POW Camping

Okay. Fine. At long last, here are a few pictures of us! We went camping for about a week on Prince of Wales Island (the US's third largest) here in southeast AK over the Fourth of July. Greg's mom and one of his nephews met us in Ketchikan and we ferried across to Hollis and ran amok on POW. FUN!

Lots of rain, noseeums, mosquitoes, and whitesocks later, we were kind of happy to be headed home. We saw many bear, deer, and met so many lovely people, that we are planning to spend quite a bit more time on the island if we can.

One of our very most favorite pastimes was eating berries. No exaggeration, we consumed many gallons of salmon berries and blueberries. The raspberries were not quite ripe or we would've put the hurt on them too.

Big sister, little sister; a love that never ends...

We have many, many pictures of boo sleeping. She must've just been worn out the whole time.

Baby deer and mommy deer.

Greg with his wood pile. We cleared a lot of brush on one of our lots.

Opened up the beach and the view.

A little dog found us at our second campsite of the week.

The girls named him Scruffty and wanted to bring him home with us.

Lots of cocoa and s'mores all week long. And yummy pizza on the open fire, too. YUM!

Our next adventure begins Thursday as we fly to Chicago, drive to Toledo, circle around Lake Michigan, stop in Green Bay, and then fly back to Juneau via Chicago and Seattle. Seven states in twelve days and near 90-degree temps with two kids under six. Woo Hoo! Thank God the rental car has AC. We hope.
