| last saturday my boys took off on an adventure. {with several other boys.} they traveled to the great state of alaska... to become master fishermen! cade kept himself entertained during the long waits at the airport by playing football with rodney. |
 |
| they did alot of waiting during their travel days. here - they waited for the float plane. {rodney, papa, and cade.} |
 |
| first fishing day! {they fished for three days.} {cade, papa, and mr. c} |
 |
| papa enjoying himself on the boat ride out to the fishing spot. |
 |
| catch of the day! |
 |
| cade next to the biggest catch of the trip... a 200 pound halibut. {caught by frank - on my boys' boat.} |
 |
| they saw lots of humpback whales... sea lions... otters... pods of orcas... and tons of bald eagles. |
 |
| this great fisherman caught the most fish out of anyone. {and, he claims he had never done it before.} |
 |
| this little boy was in heaven. every time i spoke with mr. c - he bragged about our boy... he was loving it, being polite, no complaining....a trooper. on the last day, he looked at papa straight in the eyes and said, "you know...i'm a very lucky boy to be here doing this." lucky indeed. papa called the day after they got home. he wanted to check on me and his fishing buddies. {i think he was already having withdrawals.} my mom said papa went on and on of how proud he was of cade and mr. c. {that makes my heart swell.} and, the feelings were mutual... mr. c loved having cade and papa there. i missed my boys. but, opportunities and experiences like these are life changers and memory makers. it was worth missing them. |
