Cameron was able to enjoy a trip to Alaska a few weeks ago. My dad takes each grandson to Alaska when they turn 12! He had been looking forward to the trip ever since Brady went a few years ago. They had a great time. Just warning you that there are a lot of pictures.
Of course one of the main reasons to go to Alaska is for the fishing. They did plenty of that. (Another couple joined them for the trip-Cam especially enjoyed Lyle's sense of humor!) Here are some pictures of the fish they caught! (Halibut, Salmon, yellow eye, rock fish, etc)
They rented a small boat for fishing one day. 'Captain' Papa was a great guide.
When they would throw smaller fish back, two eagles would take turns swooping down and grab the fish out of the water. I think it was the only time Cameron was hoping to catch little fish. He said that they would throw it a little closer to the boat each time and that by the end of the trip the Eagles were about 5 feet from the boat.
The Eagles would take the fish to a nest high up in a nearby tree.
They set out to explore water falls and glaciers!
Jim and Cam enjoyed a dinner cruise!
A picture that my dad took of a halibut charter boat that they went on.
They were able to see lots of wildlife. At one point they were fishing one side of the river and a bear was catching fish on the other side. They also did a little Whale watching!
The scenery was beautiful!
I am glad that Dad, Jim and Cameron were able to make such great memories together. I know it will be a trip that Cameron will always remember!
