Alaska

The whole family made the trek to Alaska at the beginning of August. We went up to see my brother and his family. They live in a tiny little village called Unalakleet. The town is so remote you can only fly in and out or take a barge. We chose to fly. It was the first time to fly for Carsen, she did great, we were so nervous about the long travel, but both girls did so good! I think it went much better than Brad or I expected. Plus it helped that most of the flight attendants took us under their wing, so helpful, I think it's because we have super cute kids! Brent took us fishing, exploring, it was so nice to have no agenda and just hang.

My Brother's family, seriously one of the coolest families around!

Sweet little Gracie

T.J. helping Emerson, aawww, and little Faith in the background. Technically this is Norton Sound, but take a look at a map..... it's the Bering Sea!

I'm sure they are having a very intense conversation about life, or maybe they are just playing with driftwood.

Only my brother, he can get those kiddos HIGH!

He got some air on that one!

and that one!

A little bit of restraint on his part, I know he could launch this beefy little girl!

She even liked him after the air show!

That way cool Bohan family

Isn't she absolutely precious!

Sweet Aunt Rachel watched the girls so we could go fishing

Brad reeling in a big catch


Nice fish

Yes I caught some too

FYI, fish don't like to be kissed

Our awesome fishing hole

the other side of the boat

getting the boat in the water, push T.J. push

That fish is almost bigger than he is



How cute is this kid?

taking a break

getting dinner ready! Yum!

Awesome pic, one of the coolest guys I know, and look at that rainbow

on the tundra, very spongy, so awesome

Love these two

The tundra is awesome, there are wild blueberries everywhere, in fact that's why we are on the tundra, bears like to eat the blueberries, we were on the lookout for a bear..... no luck! But that's ok, I didn't really want to see one up close

could this be any more beautiful?

He is so happy here! Right at home, no one for miles and miles

Oh my gosh!! I had no idea you guys went there! I am about 8 miles beyond jealous! Carsen's sooo big! And she's got some adorable little expressions! I miss you guys a bunch.

P.S. Glad you finally got some use out of E's sweatshirt! :)

So fun. Wade would be so jealous. He is an avid fisherman.
We are hoping to get up to Alaska soon. My cousin and her family moved there and we look forward to going to see them while they are there.
