Another Enjoyable Alaska Trip

This year Matt, his brothers Toph and Chad, nephew Jaice, Dad Norm, and a few friends.. Mike, JD, Ammon, and Dean all went to Ketchickan. Once again it was a fun trip....a few mishaps along the way still didn't ruin the trip....a few guys missing their flight, the fishing boat they rented was cancelled for mechanical problems, and Matt feeling a little under the weather that first day.
They still wake up at 3 AM to go fishing and then go fishing at 10 at night, and come home so sleep deprived, but for some reason it is still considered a vacation for them.
The highlights are always the fishing of course, the Eagles, the Bears, and the awesome fish tacos and fish meals that are prepared. Matt always says the fish tastes so much better fresh, in Alaska, then after he brings it home and we cook it up. Maybe it is the chef? They did some fishing off the boat too. This year he said the fish were a little more clean and they look about the same size as last year. Another bonus for Matt was that he had his nephew there Jaice (10 ) to tease. Matt is such a tease. He kept teasing Jaice that he was going to tape him up with duct tape to the park bench outside where the bears were. So all of a sudden everyone was missing their tape. Jaice had hid all the tape in the house and he was hiding out from Matt. I think he thought Matt was serious.
All in all they had a good time and even Norm (dad) had a good time observing. (Norm just had surgery a couple months ago for Appendix Cancer and was still healing, but he still wanted to go).
