Eklutna trip and fish tips

Well, I'm sorry for belated blogging, but with the packing and having last time get togethers with all our friends, things have been a little hectic. Buttoning up all the loose ends can sometimes be a headache! So I'll update for you! Last weekend we went to Eklutna Natl. Park to go camping and it was super fun as you can see from the previous video! And a monumental thing during this trip is that my mom came with us! My mom has never been tent camping in Alaska ever before (and we've lived here for almost 15 years now!)! She is deathly afraid of the bears so she has always refused...until now! We all loved the trip and made some great mems (including making many jokes after watching a beginning kayaker totally flip his kayak in the lake!)! When we woke up the next day, we all went out to Clooney Lake and brought a boat to go fishing. There were just some tiny Dolly Vardens in the lake, so it was fun to reel them in and toss them back. And one time when Kyle pulled one in, Brighton stuck out her tongue and actually got it into her mouth and chomped on the tail! Can you believe it?! It was so digusting! Luckily, she didn't bite any chunks off, but she did get a mouthful of slime and didn't seem to mind! Anyway, it was much fun and a great last trip before the big move which is in exactly 4 days! Words can't describe my giddiness!!
