Clamming

Rons back went out the day before the best clam tideof the year,so his friend Vince took Josh, McKinley and I out to clam.we took our minivan down the beach and got it stuck really bad several times,quite the adventure too.scary. the guys dug 140 clams in about and hour and a half.thats ALOT of clams.Josh and I spent the whole afternoon cleaning them.

this picture is of a baby clam...awwww(:

vince and his clam gun

big clams(: Josh had a bast digging,and thoroughly wore himself out.i had the baby in her sleepy wrap snuggled on my chest and she fell asleep immediately and never woke up,so i wasnt able to dig. but i had fun hunting the for the guys(: Josh didnt use a gun.he barely used a shovel...he just dug like a crazy person and dove in head first...he had alot of fun

spending time with Joanna

McKinley and i spent several days with Joanna while we were in Ninilchik...it was alot of fun...Joanna is almost 4 months pregnant,and very very content with her new husband Jason.They are building a house in Anchor Point and are very excited about the baby on the way.They were alot of fun to watch...Ive never seen Jo so happy in my life...she was all smiles
