Wow....and Berries.......and Kenai

Wow. I have completely failed you. Sorry.  Does anyone really mind if I skip a BUNCH of pictures and just post how many days? Does anyone mind? Huh? Huh? Wat?!?? (sorry) I really will try to continue starting like...today....maybe to ACTUALLY put up pictures....no promises though!!


This weekend we drove down (?) to Kenai. (Kenai on google map:  https://maps.google.com/maps?hl=en   click on map pic and takes you to map)  It was fun.  Here's some pics.

  Fun little waterfall on the way there(and back).

  Waterfall again.

 Me (looking kinda weird) on an ALASKAN BEACH! Yeah that's right....beach. B-E-A-C-H. Beach. In Kenai...or around Kenai...not sure.

 My brother is nuts...the water is really cold and he was going really deep....thankful for extra clothes!!And walmarts so we can buy some shoes when his are wet...

We went to Hatcher Pass the other day with our upstairs neighbors' kid, Nick. ( Hatcher Pass:   http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hatcher_Pass  wikipedia )

 Pretty, fast, creek/river thing (not sure which) on the way there...and back.

 Boys!

These are berries we have.  We just picked the blueberries when we went to Hatcher Pass.

 Bub with lots of help from Mama and I picked the top bag. I picked the lower bag by myself.

Here is how much we have of each:

High-bush Cranberries: 3 cups aka 3/4 quart  (in the pic of these ones we only have 2 cups but we picked more that day so i had to add a cup)

Low-bush Cranberries:  4 cups aka 1 quart

Blueberries: 2 cups aka 1/2 quart. ( I think Mama and I picked about a cup each)

Crowberries: 2 3/4 cups 9not sure how much of a quart that would be....1/2 and 3/4 of a quart maybe??)


That's all for now!! I've been working on this post over a span of about 3 days.....hehe.
