For the halibut





They went to Homer fishing, just for the halibut!!!!! and boy, were they successful!  They had a great day at sea. They caught their limit and didn't throw up...That's a very good day on the ocean!  The great adventure is just that so far.  They enjoyed their stay on the Homer Spit and are heading to maybe Seward or Wasilla today.  I think Lee's hoping for a Sarah Palin sighting... They have their car until the 3rd and are still just winging it... moving around every couple of nights.  The cost of living (and vacationing) is pretty steep up there. I keep forgetting to ask the price of gas....You'd think it might be cheaper there but you'd also think halibut sandwiches would be too....NOT!  Bailee even received a postcard from the adventurers today... not me...Guess who Papa misses more? :-(  jk....Thank goodness for technology....We get to see the day's activities online each night.... if we can stay awake that long....When I'm ready for bed, they're just having supper.  I'm thrilled they're having fun and we're gearing up for Kindergarten here... I read am article in the morning paper that quoted a K teacher saying, "There are always some criers on the first day.........but once they get to their cars and head home, they're better!!!!" :-)  That will be me!
The pictures show their catch for the day and one that Lee just hauled in... along with a whale spouting off about something :-)
