Alaska Fishing Trip

Glen & Marie's Fishing Trip
The end of July we went to Alaska fishing with some of our friends,
six of us in all. It was so much fun. We have been to Alaska on cruises,
but this was the first time for me to see some of the country
side, drive the roads, and to fish.
We went down by Homer fishing for Halibut. We went fishing
two days. We all got a lot of halibut. Boy, were the two 60 lb
halibut hard work to reel in. But I did both by myself. I also caught
7 small shark (this actually is bad luck according to some fishermen)
we just throw those back.
It was also neat because we were sitting
outside looking at the bay at 11:30 pm and the sun was
just going down. Then it would be light at 5:00 am.
We then spent two days fishing for salmon in Seward. This was
great fun also. I loved the scenery, Alaska is such a beautiful place.
It is also so cool, (weather) it never was to warm. I would like to
go there some winter. We had such a wonderful time, and
really enjoyed the fishing. Now we have a good food storage of fish.

Guess who caught the biggest halibut?
You guessed it, Marie! I actually caught a 60 lb. halibut
both days we went fishing. Beginners luck I think.

About Happy Family by G & M

Well, I am sitting here all by myself. I was looking at Jacob and Joellen's blog and some others and thought I would like to do that myself. So I think I have figured this out all by myself. This is a big deal for me to do something on the computer without the kids help.

The Glen and Marie Jenkins Family

was created just 30 years ago this month. We have had such a wonderful life together. We have lived in Woods Cross for almost 29 years. I guess you can say we love it here. We have 5 wonderful sons and 1 beautiful daughter. Two, oh so cute grand babies. Anna 9 months and Axel 8 days old. Two wonderful daughter-in-laws. Our 4th son (Thomas) is serving the Lord for the Church in the Canada, Montreal Mission and he will be home sometime in October! We are all so excited. He will come home to a new sister-in-law ( Rachel), and a niece and a nephew. He is still loving his mission, (I guess that is why we still don't have a release date yet).
