6/24--It's 10:30PM and Michele and Maggie just left for Newark, NJ. Once arriving in Newark, they catch a train to Philadelphia where Michele's brother Kirk will pick them up. There's more to their trip, but the reason for this entry is to capture the boys first time away from Mom. And my first time alone with them for an extended period of time.
Casey was still awake when they left, Indio was passed out cold. Within about 20 minutes Casey drifted off and it left me all alone at home for the first time since before we got married. It's weird, I feel like a batchlelor with 2 sleeping boys.
So the first thing I did was take all the laundry downstairs, moved the drying racks up stairs, picked up some toys, and opened a bottle of wine (only because I didn't have any beer). I called in to work already and left a message that I'd be a couple hours late. I'm going to let the boys sleep in and myself too (it may be needed depending on how much of this bottle I drink!)
Michele (and the kids of course) hooked me up with the new iPhone for Father's Day. I got it tonight so now it's time to figure it out. I'm pretty pumped about that. I'm laying down my Blackberry to rest. Wine, iPhone, house fiddling, etc. that is night #1 with no Mom or big Sister! Tomorrow nght I'll give the boys an education! It's Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagual, Arnie, Sly, and Eastwood movies, maybe a little UFC thrown in the mix. It's time to grow these boys up! More later.

LONG LAKE FLOAT TUBING
This was my first fishing outing of the summer (not including the early hike in to the Kenai River). I paddled around in my float tube for about 3 hours. Long Lake is strictly a catch and release fishery, because of that there are some nice fish in there. It takes about an hour to get there from our house.
I didn't really catch to many fish but 2 of them were over 18". Not to bad for a lake.
This guy was the smallest fish of the day, but his colors were beautiful. He was gently released back in to the depths.
AS GOOD AS THE PRESENT ITSELF
The vacuum gun hasn't made it outside yet, but the bubble wrap provided at least 20 minutes worth of entertainment. Good job Jen!

ONE LAST PRESENT!
Casey just turned 4. If he could read and write, he'd say a special thanks to Auntie Jen and Uncle Paul. Since he can't, Dad will say it for him, thanks Jen thanks Paul! That's going to be a fun toy! How can we torture Mom with it? :)

AN EARLY SUMMER FLOAT.
This day marked the maiden voyage for the new blue boat.
Mark came along with us. The red boat is about 3 years old. Its new home is going to be in Dillingham, Alaska. I will store it there for years to come that way I won't have to ship it back and forth from Anchorage. Having a boat and other gear in Western Alaska will make the great wilderness and fishing much more attainable. Stay posted.
A SUNDAY AFTERNOON PICNIC
We took a nice Sunday drive up to near the headwaters of Willow Creek. This is the only picture I managed to take. You can't turn your back on Indie for a second.
