We had spider webs and spiders all down our hallway. Every time I walked through I was pullin it out of my hair or getting it off of my face! UGH! It felt so real!

Port Armstrong Fish Hatchery

In mid-October, we took a boat over to Port Armstrong for their end of the season "Spawning Party". The trip over was so rough, with 12-15 foot seas. Although it was only for 45 minutes, I was really scared. The photo above shows two of the workers homes there. Like Port Alexander, the homes are all connected with a nice wooden boardwalk.
A photo of the dock and some of the fish tanks. I came over on on the blue/white sail boat. Lili went on the large black/white fish processor at the end.
One of the workers at the fish hatchery spent 4 days building this "ride" for the kids. Even the adults took a turn! I screamed!
Here is another shot of the dock, boats, tanks, and home.

Carson's Birthday

Carson had a really good time for her birthday. She received a lot of nice gifts. One of the kids had his parents fill and heat up their hot tub, as a gift/treat for Carson. So, all the kids went over there for about an hour or so. Thankfully, it was a beautiful sunny day.
Carson turned 14. She wanted me to put 16 candles on her cake, but I didn't. Ha!
