GUYS WILL BE GUYS

You all know the our wonderful, generous GREAT Grandpa Jeffs took all his 'boys' (except 'way too young" Jax) to Alaska for a most memorable fishing trip. Well, at first I was kind of 'ticked' thinking "the guys get to do everything". Yeah I know very childish, but I'm honest. BUT, and this is a big BUT and I am confessing that I feel real bad about my first thoughts. After looking at their pictures and hearing their stories, I cried. YEP, what a terrific trip and opportunity these family guys had to be together and do something they enjoy so much . So here I have put on some pictures to show you just how great a grandpa we have, and what great guys we are related to.
This is the first group of our guys to hit the island of fishing. They were so pumped about riding on a float plane. This is something David has mentioned that he wished we had been able to do last year when we visited Alaska.

This is one of the homes they knew for a week. And isn't the scenery just beautiful

Here is a mad card game they enjoyed so many of the nights without their "wives" or other dear family they left behind.

Goofy guys. They wanted to do something to make the picture more interesting.

Now to the fishing! Here's Jared reelin' in the big one. Better than Strawberry, Jare???

Some meaningful conversation about the technigues and strategies of fishing!!!

WOW! Way to go Grandpa. You caught a great one.

Here are my boys bringing home the "bacon". These two (the fish) were eaten by a bald eagle.

What a great group! Is this the BEAR you wanted to see?

I have no bad feelings anymore. When I see my guys having a great time, a once in a lifetime experience together, I am grateful for the blessings we receive as a family.
