Our new baby...."It's a Jeep thing, you wouldn't understand" just kidding but it really is ours we bought this one a few weeks ago since having one car was not working out too well. We got a great deal on it and just couldn't resist....and it'll do fine in Puerto Rico (if that's where we end up next time). I can't wait to take to top off the Jeep next summer......

Isn't it amazing how a tree can simply grow on top of a rock? This is out by Chinniak and it is very Alaska-like pretty out here.
We were wondering why the car in front of us pulled over to the side and then we saw them. I think they might have a nest up there.
Oh deer....there were two deer standing on the side of the road, munching on some grass. We got out of the car and were close enough to pet them. Neither one of them was scared or ran away....only in Kodiak. Still no bear sightings we are starting to think that the kodiak bear is just a myth created to keep children indoors.

One of my co-workers took us out on the boat last weekend and yes we did catch lots of silver salmon.....it was a ton of fun but very cold.
Look I caught a goldfish...at least that's what it looked like but this is actually a rockfish and he got to go free. Yes, I am wearing my ski pants and I'm still freezing.

This is a Puffin.....I finally got to see a real one. They are so cute.
We drove right by the sea lions and they do not seem to have a care in the world

And where did you take your truck today?????? Well, we drove ours up to the top of Pillar which is one of the mountains.....looks like a Ford commercial. Funny thing is, I ran into one of my co-workers up here, I wonder what the odds are that you will see someone you know on top of a mountain.....
I'm on top of the world.......since I am not currently on a cruise ship but rather on a rock I figured I'll have to do my Titanic pose up here.
A view of Kodiak from the top of the mountain......
As I said, we live on a rock and therefore the beaches here are very rocky...does that make sense?
Some of the fishing/charter fishing boats in the harbor. Yap there are a lot of fishing boats in Kodiak.
Devin finally caught a Salmon.....with our new fishing poles. Unfortunately he snagged it through its finn so we had to let it go.
"Pretend Olive Garden" night. Devin made chicken Parmesan for dinner. It was sooooooo good. I'll have to convince him to cook more often and it was much better than Olive Garden.
