One Last Trip to Alaska

Last Christmas my dad gifted Tyler and my brothers another fishing trip to Alaska. Tyler was so excited to be able to go again. They left early on Saturday morning. I took them to the airport and they were off. They went salmon and halibut fishing again with Kenai Jim. Jim would take them out for guiding fishing during the morning/ afternoon and then at night they would fish by the river. They got a lot of fish again and we are all excited to have yummy fish dinner. 

Thanks to my dad for really spoiling all of the boys. I think they have so much fun and make so  many memories together. 

My mom stayed at our house while my dad and brothers were gone. I was so glad we could spend some time with my mom making memories with her while we still can. It was a hard week emotionally to see how much my mom is declining, but I am so glad we got to do so many fun things with her. 

We went swimming, to Lagoon, to a movie, to Classic skating, and of course out to eat. It really felt like a vacation of our own. 

We introduced my mom to Crave cookies and also made a panookie. 

It was a fun way to spend our last week before the kids went back to school.
