Trip with Dad to Homer!

We love going to work with Dad. Nate had to go to Homer, AK so we decided to take a drive with him. It took about 5 hours to get there. The drive was gorgeous. We got there in the evening and went to check out the town and find out the good fishing spots. Braxton has been dying to go with Nate. So we went to check out "The Spit" it is a small piece of land that juts out in to the inlet were huge fishing boats and fairies come and dock. The view is beautiful.
The boys had a ball in there new rain boots. They thought staying in the hotel was a blast too.
They boys had a good time fishing even though we didn't catch anything.

I think Luke and I got a little to close. I didn't realize you can't even get close to Bald Eagles.         We were up on a huge sand bank and right there in front of us was this beautiful Eagle.

On the way home we stopped at a really cute bakery in Soldotna. They had all kinds of cookies including a flat cinnimon roll. It looked like a steam roller had gone over it. But of course Braxton went for the only fish he will eat (a cookie). Luke went with the yellow smiley face because he loves yellow and can't loves to get the smiley face sticker from Wal-Mart every time we go.
