On Wednesday, July 15, we floated the Kenai river with Uncle Chris!
First Mom, Nathan, and I went on a sightseeing trip. After lunch, Mom took the two littles and Dad floated with us three older kids on a fishing trip. Justin and Hannah did not float at all, as Justin decided he as not interested in the boat – and it just didn't seem like a good idea to bring the nineteen month old.
On the viewing trip, we saw a lot of bald eagles – and even a bear! It was wonderful, floating down the beautiful Kenai river.
On the fishing trip, we got out on a small island and practiced fly fishing for a bit. Gregory and Nathan each caught a rainbow trout, which were thrown back because Uncle Chris said that the trout from the Kenai don't taste good. I didn't catch any fish, but I think I caught the hang of fly fishing somewhat and had a lot of fun.
Here are the pics:
- We saw several bald eagles!
- A beautiful view off the front of the boat.
- A young Grizzly sunning himself!
- Nathan's fish
- The boat itself, all packed up for the fishing trip
- The end and bobber of my own rod, unhappily fishless
- The small island where we landed and fished for a bit. Gregory caught his fish here.
