SITKA IN APRIL

Sierra and I spent a glorious week in Sitka.  Yes - we worked - but BOY! did we ever play too!  Much to Sierra's happiness, there was a little rain.  But we spent most of our days in the sun in 50-60 degree weather ... PERFECT!  Following are some pictures of our wonderful time there:Above:  Sierra near John Brown's Beach where we collected sea glass.  

Below:  Sierra and her friend, Helaina - during lunch hour on Sandy Beach at low tide.



Above:  The day before leaving, Sierra went to school and I sat on the beach COMPLETELY ALONE listening to the surf and watching sea lions.  It was PERFECT.

Below:  Beautiful Sitka as the plane starts to take off.



Above:  Sunday morning was the lowest tide of the month ... we thought it a very appropriate Sabbath activity - to walk along the beach :)

Below:  Sierra at Halibut Point Rec - it was a GORGEOUS day.



Above:  Sierra and I posed with our family's dear friend, Elmo at church (the building is made of cedar and SMELLS INCREDIBLE)

Below:  Sunday morning we found all kinds of sand dollars like the one below, wedged between rocks in tide pools.




Above:  Just an artistic picture:)

Below:  My sis, Camielle, at the beach with us.

Above:  Another artistic picture (I'm getting good, aren't I!??!!)  This one has Sierra in it.

Below:  Sierra working the recorder and switcher for the show.



It was a great trip.  This is Sierra at Silver Bay.  This was after our little stop at the chocolate factory ... mmmmm!  I just realized - no pictures of Camielle's son, Joshua, on this post.  I'll have to add him later - OR - go to my facebook and look at the album I just posted.

That's it for now :)
