Deep Sea Fishing

While Jillian spent the night with the Burson's, Jeremy and I drove down to Ninilchik and went halibut fishing! The day was cold and rainy and I was sick the entire time...but, we still managed to have great fun. :) Here Jeremy and I are posing in front of the fish we caught (4 belong to us, the rest of the fish belong to the other people on our boat.) If you know anything about halibut, you'll recognize these are just babies....but, we're pleased and they'll taste just as yummy! :)

This is a picture of the boat crew...just 2! Captain Keith is on the right and Tiffany, his deckhand, is on the left. Tiffany worked her butt off...she baited all the hooks and reeled in many of the fish (even one of mine when I was too sick to do so myself!). They were both alot of fun and totally made the day!

On the way back home, we stopped for ice cream at Summit Lake. Alaska is breathtakingly beautiful! We will definitely miss the amazing outdoor scenery when we move.

Jillian and The Bursonators

Last weekend Jeremy and I drove down to Ninilchik to go fishing for Halibut. Jillian had a sleepover with the Burson's...she pretty much spent 2 days and one night with them. They were so thoughtful...Jillian was in bed sleeping by the time we got home!!!!! :) She had a total blast! She had so much fun that she was too busy to talk to me every time I called. And I called approximately every 4 hours. Except through the night. In this picture, Jillian is taking a car ride, probably to McDonalds or some other super fun place.

Tim and Jillian. Sorry Tim, I know you have your eyes closed - but the picture is too cute not to post! :)

Here is Jillian coloring. This is why Tim and Joy are more fun...at home she has to take off her coat and shoes in the house and then to color at the table, I have to find a big sheet of newspaper or something to place underneath. Which is probably why coloring doesn't happen very often....and thats very sad. I think I must have too many silly nonsense rules.

Jillian in the bath. What a great picture guys!

Joy has a snowman couple in her entry. Jillian LOVES them! Here is Jillian with Mrs. (I think) Snowman, giving her a hug.

Joy has told me that when her boys were little their favorite thing to do was to go to McDonald's and play in the PlayLand. Jillian has never been before, so they took her! And let her play for hours! What an awesome idea! Joy said she had a ball and was exhausted by the time they went home. Jillian, that is. Actually, I'm sure Joy was exhausted too, Jillian is a wild thing. Luke was the hero of the day, and climbed through all the tunnels with Jillian...teaching her the ropes. :)

Thats Luke and Jillian peering out of that big ball! Thanks Luke! Can we bring you along the next time we go? :)

Jillian and a Bug

Sick Kid! Almost 2 weeks ago, Jillian caught a flu bug and out of the blue was a sick little girl. We spent many hours watching TV, reading books and sleeping.

Feeling better! After 5 days, Jillian was well enough to sit on the counter again. :)
