More moose and Clamming!!!

Our last day of school... Icecream Social! All grades- K-6 come out to the playground area for icecream sundaes and music (we bring in a DJ!!!!). I think I as much fun as the kiddos... icecream and dancing!!

Mama and twins!

Itty-bitty twins! They were already wandering away from mama!

This is our little guy we've watched grow up this past year. He roams the park across the street as well as Russian Jack a block over. Adam and I were playing softball when he came out, we hadn't see him in awhile, I am so proud of his "antlers"... little nubbins! I sure am gonna miss our little guy! (also- we haven't seen mom.... assuming she has another little one with her, but haven't had a visual on her yet!)

The neighborhood boys checking him out. These kids whippped out CELL PHONES and took pictures of him (kinda ridiculous huh?!?-- they're barely off training wheels!) I was the "mother hen" and tried to get them to move back a bit-but of course they didn't listen to me. I don't think they know how to listen! Our mooser didn't mind them tho- thank goodness!

Disc golfing on a gorgeous day!

Pretty intimidating!

Adam fishing for Kings in the Ninilchik River.. no luck, it was the opening day. ALTHOUGH we saw a massive king foul hooked (hooked in the belly). Chena is sittin next to him, on the look out! She was having a great time swimming!

From our campsite on the beach... waiting for low tide! Gorgeous view eh?

Fellow clammers diggin in the mud!

A waterfall down the beach. Adam and Erin checking out the "catch" we heard about.

THESE are halibut! We had no idea this was possible, but now we know what we're doing next year for Memorial Day weekend! These people were clamming during low tide, then setting their hooks out (huge ocean poles), waiting for high tide and catching these yummy fish!! HOW FUN!!! You can also see the "Skathe" in the water above them.

ANNNNNNNNNND these are hard to see, but they had 7-10 Salmon Sharks caught as well!

Ok... so school is out- I have been busy setting up utilities and all that fun stuff for our new house. Our title was signed and finalized by Friday morning-- the house is OURS!! We have the keys! We have been furniture shopping and now that we know what we "style" we like... we're going to go measure our house and buy some furniture. Then we'll pick out some paint. Official move-in date isn't until June18-19 because of our trip back to Iowa and Adam's residency. Luckily, we have the one month overlap with our apartment, so we can take our time!

The weather has been AMAZING!!! We had perfect weather for clamming this past weekend... we dug up quite a few clams... although we were kinda regretting it when it came time to clean them! We had a pretty good assembly line and got 'em cleaned up fast. Our friend has a good clam chowder recipe- we are excited to try them! It was a Blast! There were 5 couples and a few lil kiddos (3 crazy boys to be exact!--so darn cute and fun!) We also had 4 dogs running around. Camped on the beach, clammed at low tide, fished for Kings at high tide, 4-wheeled a bit, played some boche ball and had SO MUCH FUN!! Erin took more pictures than I did, so I will post those when I get 'em. Also-- Adam took quite a few videos!!

Well... I am headed home to Iowa on Wednesday. Adam will be working all week, GOING TO SEE KENNY IN SEATTLE over the weekend, working some more and going back to Iowa on the 10th for Drew's wedding! YEEEEEEEES, Kenny is back--THANK YOU GOD!!! We are so damn proud of him and couldn't be happier that he is finally back and safe! :)
