Camping on the Spit

Camping on the Homer Spit involves lots of campfires, lots of s'mores, and hangin' out with friends! It certainly doesn't hurt to get in a little reading practice, either!

Dogs, Water and Sticks

Where there is water and sticks to be found you can also find Ben and our golden retriever, Scout. Of our three dogs, Scout is our true water dog and like Ben, she doesn't care how cold the water is! Summit, the chocolate lab, tries to get in on the fun!

Fun on the Beach

Ben's favorite things to do on the beach are to look for shells, find drift wood for mom's driftwood collection (I have a project in mind:-) and romp with the dogs in the waves. He loves the water, no matter how cold it is, and he will usually be the kid that is the wettest!

Small Boat Harbor

Up on a hill overlooking the small boat harbor is a wonderful little spot that houses the Spit Sisters coffee shop and some cute specialty shops. While we mom's enjoyed our coffee, the boy's picked bouquets of dandylions and threw rocks down the hill in the general direction of the water.

Just for the Halibut

Our friend, Mary, made all of the boys fish T-shirts. It was so cute to see all five little boys in their bright red fish shirts. I don't think that Ben took his off the whole weekend! He loves to watch Daddy clean the halibut. He asked to hold an eye and the tail and Daddy obliged!

Memorial Day

Memorial Day means....HOMER! We made the pilgrimage once again to Homer, AK. We had the absolute best weather that we have ever had. It was sunny and beautiful the whole time we were there. Homer is a very pretty place, but you just can't beat it when there is sunshine, blue skies and no wind!!

The low tides left loads of purple sea stars on the beach. It was lots of fun looking for them and holding them on your hands...they tickle!!
