daddy's Alaska

ben just got back from a week long trip to his beloved, Alaska. he had a GREAT time! he looks forward to this trip all year long {the second he gets home from alaska each year he starts working extra side jobs so he can go again the next}. i love seeing how excited he gets.

the reason why i titled this post, daddy's Alaska, is because one morning gavin woke up and said, "i want to go to daddy's alaska", because he was missing his daddy so much. so cute.

here's a few pics from ben's fun trip. like i said, he just LOVES it up there. i don't blame him though, it's so beautiful.
a fisherman's dream land for sure!

ben took this picture for me :)...

the biggest catch of the trip, a 323 lb halibut! derek {ben's cousin} caught it!...

BEAUTIFUL!...

{skylar just opened his mission call tonight by the way. he's going to PARAGUAY! that's where i went on my mission! we are so excited for him. especially me!}
