This was the day when we split up to two groups.
Markus, Jason, Kai, grandpa, and uncle Brian spent the day fishing.
Markus' catch.
20 lbs, 32" King Salmon.
Rest of us went canoing and sightseeing.
Yes, us women (plus uncle Aaron) took rest of the kids canoeing.
We had our doubts...but it ended up being great.
Mountain lake, part of the Tongass Rainforest was beautiful.
We stopped ashore for a native-style snack including smoked salmon, clam chowder, rolls with wild berry jams and beverages. Our guide took us on a short nature walk highlighting the flora and fauna of the rain forest, including a carnivorous plant, the Sundew, which uses tentacles with an adhesive "dew" to ensnare small insects.
This is a funny looking photo.
Looks like all the kids are ready to jump in.
Ready, set, go...don't tip the canoe!
