OUR FAMILY CAMPING TRIPS 2000








Our first camping trip of the year 2000 we went to Anchor Point, Alaska June 10th. Usually we go on Memorial Day weekend, but was not able to do that this year. Our camping/fishing trips are always a family affair and we enjoy sitting around the campfire,with good eating and lots of laughter, in addition to the fishing trips.




Since we have to drive more than 200 miles, we always take a couple of breaks along the way. Always beautiful views, anywhere you look. This is just one of them.







The lady who rules our household, Sugarbaby!














My son & daughter - Ralph & Debbie. Standing around the campfire on Sunday morning.




















My grandson, Josh, who is 4 years old & does not like to have his photo taken. You have to be fast to get him....looks as if grandma almost missed.















My granddaughter, Amanda and my daughter, Debbie, bask in the sunshine.


















My husband, Bill & son-in-law, Steve, with their catch. Each halibut weighed between 40 - 45 lbs. Not a bad day!!





















My daughter-in-law, Michelle, thrilled with her catch of the day!












Our next camping/fishing trip June 24th,-25th.

After breakfast we broke camp & headed back to Anchorage.
This is the intersections of the Sterling & Seward Hwys - looking toward Seward.




We made out last family camping trip July 8th & 9th, back to Anchor Point.


It is not always easy to find three spaces together for our family, but we have been lucky this year.





We arrive and get our "camp" set up and some go fishing & some stay at camp. We all do our own thing, and enjoy being together.

Amanda & Josh play at the picnic table, while Debbie & Ralph check out his new laptop.




Shelby the Lab enjoys a nap in the grass. Ralph & Josh are needing one too.




The next morning Debbie is cookin breakfast in their camper.

Josh & Amanda find it hard to wake up - just like grandma!
