July 4 Parade and....Date with Lynice

Went to see the parade this morning. 

Some cool cars - Grandpa, I knew you'd like to see some of these!

Then Lynice and I went on a date to Crazy Cupcakes.  Really good!!

And......I started collecting sponsors for the Walk and Roll!!  Lynice and Gaaraare signed up 😊

We are spending the rest of the day doing laundry, packing things up. Leaving Kenai tomorrow morning. 

Twin City Racetrack

Went to the races today. Had a lot of fun, one scary moment when a driver flipped his car on its roof but he was ok. 

July 4 tribute. 

Very, very dusty!!  We came home and threw all our coats in the washing machine. 

Back to Anchorage!

Yesterday we went to Anchorage to visit Kristophers Dad and Sherri. Also picked up the new couch. 

Sherri and I in front of Chuck's Corvette. 

Couch seems comfy!

Salmon

Forgot to show you the salmon!

My plate!  Yum.  And re salmon, we put maple syrup, soya sauce and mustard powder on it before we BBQ'd it. 

Crazy Fishers!

Dad and Kris went fishing at 0300h this morning - Kris caught a salmon, which made a tasty supper!!  Then everyone worked on getting a new damper in the fireplace. Even Gaara participated 😃. 

Mark's Boat

We spent the day on Marks boat on the Gulf of Alaska. It was a. Eautiful sunny day, Dad says about 18 degrees. Saw hump back whales and caught halibut and black bass. 

Mark and I heading out of the harbour at Homer. 

This is a small halibut (Mark threw him back).

This is sea weed. 

See the jellyfish swimming. 

Music in the park

This is the port at Kenai. It's 6-7 blocks from Lynice's place. 

We went to see a chainsaw carver. This was one of his carvings, and he was working on an 8 foot rabbit!!!

We went to a farmers market - they have trucks with all different kinds of food, and lots of tents with everything from homemade deodorant and soaps,  salmon leather wallets and purses, and jewelry to clothing and purses. Lots of things to see!

In the same area there was music in the park. A 10 year old girl played electric guitar with a band for one song!

This is the Kenai River - see the boardwalk all along the bank. 

We went to help Lynice pick up vegetables from a farm - look at the funny red sign (we don't rent pigs).
