Go North to Alaska

The boys got home late Saturday night. It was good to have them home. Josie was so excited to see them that she was jumping around like a bucking bronco. By report, they had an amazing time. It's been stated that there are many funny stories to tell, but so far they have been keeping the stories to themselves. Rich and Dave both said that they have never seen Carson laugh so much. I guess that is a pretty good indicator that he was having a good time. They limited out every day so now our freezer is full of 100 pounds of silver salmon. Carson won the triple-crown award for catching the most fish, the biggest fish, and the smallest fish. (Isn't the King Salmon about the ugliest fish you have ever seen?) The boys also got to enjoy other wildlife of Alaska--they saw moose, caribou, bald eagles, golden eagles, beavers, and grizzly bears. Their boat was almost sunk by a very industrious mink--something about leaving a fish in the boat, the mink eating it, and somehow pulling the plug while eating the fish. I think the story lost something in the translation so you'll have to ask Dave or Carson for the full story.

When did Carson grow that crazy third hand?

So funny, I didn't even notice the extra hand until you mentioned it. Carson said it was the guide's hand.
