Summer is finally here!

We had a warm and sunny weekend so we took full advantage of it.  Friday Lance and I went with friends to the Kenny Chesney concert at the Tacoma Dome.  Saturday and Sunday we went out on the lake and spent lots of time with friends and family.  We LOVE summer!!!

Alaska!

 We just returned from a wonderful trip to Homer, Alaska.  Lance grew up there and was excited to show us his home town.  I must say, he was a great tour guide!  Alaska is beautiful, I finally see what all the fuss is about!  We rented a house for a week with my parents, and my grandparents rented a motor home and stayed at an RV park nearby.  It was a fun, relaxing trip.  Enjoy the pics.
 
 There are a bunch of little boardwalks along the Homer spit.  Lots of shopping and restaurants, my favorite!
 Rylee enjoyed eating outside every morning, looking for a moose (or as she says "moosh").  We actually did see a Mama moose and 2 baby moose the last night we were there.  So cute!

 Rylee was obsessed with all the fish.  She loved to watch all the freshly caught fish come in from the boats. 
One cloudy day we spent at the ocean and wildlife center.



 We even got in a little beach time.


 One night we took a 45 minute boat ride to Halibut Cove.  There was a great restaurant and a little boardwalk of art galleries.  The scenery was absolutely stunning.


 We even found a few horses at Halibut Cove!
 The moon was absolutely gorgeous this night.  We never made it to sunset.  I must say, it was weird having the sun shining when we went to bed at 11:00 at night!
 The guys went fishing and caught a LOT of halibut.  The biggest caught was 40lbs.  Needless to say, we'll be eating halibut for a long time!

 The house we stayed at had a hot tub that Rylee LOVED. 

 The scenery was amazing.  I wish I had a better camera to show it!
 Lance and I were there for our 3rd anniversary.  We snuck away to a nice dinner, and this was our view.  Beautiful.
 A good time was had by all.  We ate some delicious food, got some quality family time in, went on a few adventures, and saw some wonderful scenery and wildlife.  We will definitely visit Homer again!
