This Memorial weekend the Price clan took a trip to Anchorage and Homer, AK. The Fuhriman side, went to the anchorage zoo and spent a extra day in Anchorage. We met everyone else in Homer the next day. We had a fun day at the beach with Wes, Casy, and Morgan. They caught some halibut and we went clamming the next day. It was defiantly a memorable trip. On the first day of fishing, half the family got seasick, but the rest caught their limit in Halibut. Then we went clamming with the a thousand other people on the beach and we only caught one clam. Olivia could careless, she loved playing in the sand and running through the water. As the tide came in Garin and I were stuck on a Island. The water came in fast and we were digging for clams we didn't notice it. We had to wade across. The same day we went fishing again for halibut. If you have ever been on the ocean, you know there are many different currents in deeper areas. Well the deeper areas is were the Halibut is. So we put down the anchor, when all of the sudden the boat was being pulled on it's own from the anchor in a really strong current; trying to pull the boat under. Thank goodness Wes had his knife and cut loose the anchor. It was really scary. It was really weird because the water was really calm and the sun was out, it was beautiful, but down below the current was going crazy. So it was a very memorable trip.

Olivia is so big and so adorable. She seriously is so beautiful!! Man, it seems like you guys do the coolest things in Alaska. I wish we could come visit. That is so scary that you were being pulled by the current like that--water is so powerful--freaky!
