Russian River Salmon Fishing







In July, Justin went to Solid Rock Bible Camp in Soldotna, AK. It's about three hours away, so when we went to pick him up we made a mini vacation out of it. We rented a cabin on the Kenai River and then went fishing on the Russian River. For those of you who don't know this is right smack in the middle of BEAR COUNTRY! You have to take a ferry across the river to the other side to fish, and that is the only way back of course. Needless to say we made sure the kiddos were right beside us the whole time! Fortunately, we did not see any bear that day, but some of daddy's friends did walk up on one later that evening!

Jared is our kid that ... well let's just say that if anything is gonna happen it will happen to him, LOL. We were only there for about two minutes when he fell in! You have to pay like $6.00 each to cross over so there was no way he could go to the car to get a change of clothes. Thankfully it was a beautiful Alaskan day and the sun was out to dry his clothes. He spent the rest of the day in his brothers sweatshirt with nothing else on!

And of course, we didnt catch any fish (only rocks). But, it was a great day!
