Just Getting There Was a Major Chore!

Yeah that's us...we had good the seats on the way out...the way back the kids were faster than me, I stood...and AG she was the only passenger on the other skiff...how I got 5 kids and she got zero I don't know!?

AG looking dashing, is she in a movie from the 50s set in Italy?? Guess the jersey, Xtratufs and PFD say no, but the glasses and scarf are cute!
Do they REALLY need to dress alike everyday of the week? Just teasing!!We brought AB along, his 1st time camping in Unalaska.Priest rock from the skiff.Has anyone ever looked in the cave behind Priest Rock??
My favorite rock! It's sooooooo cool. You have to click on the picture to see the interesting texture. It's 30feet deep right alongside the rock.I can't seem to get a picture of a puffin (so cute they make me smile everytime I see them) so we've got cormorants they're sorta cute..
Sunbathing sea lions, have to click on the picture to see them, sorry! We were flying by.
The bay Mr. CD and Mr. AG chose. I was pouty about it, but I did eventually get over it, rocks instead of sand is really a lot cleaner and the glass ball in the wood made the hill of annoying rocks worth the hassle. Ohhh yeah --NO BUGS or wind of any sort, which is cool and odd at the same time.


The forecast Saturday morning said calm winds for SAT and calm & CLEAR for Sunday! This was it, our only chance to camp as my husband will be gone most of the weekends until mid-OCT when we get back from Cabo. He called Mr. AG and let them know we were going...they decided to come too! It ONLY took 8 1/2 hours from 10:30 when he checked the weather until we were sitting around the campfire, 4 tents set up, cooking our hamburgers....is that worth it?? Yeah, of course!

We had to coordinate who had what food already, run around buying boots and food. I baked cookies (can't have store bought treats --the horror!) and some gluten-free brownies too, find all the gear, gather the kids, hope they had enough clothing, launch the 2 skiffs and find a suitable beach.

The one we camped at 2 years ago in Kolecta Bay was a bit less protected from the breeze than the one just next to it. So we went there. I wasn't happy about the hill of big rocks we had to climb to get to dry land, but it worked out of course.
