The days are long, literally and figuratively. The sun is out for all of our waking hours, and even in the middle of the "night", it looks like dusk. And we are staying busy with all the usual activities - church, school, breaking up quarrels, etc. One activity we've added recently is trying to bag a "king". As in a King Salmon, the highly-coveted fish that "run" up the rivers this time of year to their spawning grounds. Kings are the, well, king of the salmon - big and tasty. And, from what we're told, they can be tough to land if you actually hook one. Not that we would know anything about that. We've been out twice so far and haven't had so much as a nibble. But, we'll keep trying. We can't be true Alaskans until we've gotten our king.
It's been a while since I've posted some pictures. Here are a few snapshots from the Johnson family over the past couple of weeks:
We had a church bowling night last night. Sander is showing off his form.
Gumpa gave Meredith and Maggie each a birdhouse kit. We put them together yesterday, and hung them up in the backyard.
