July in Sitka

Summer started out so nice.  Weather in the 70s, sunshine even.
Now we are back to low 60s with occasional rain
and not much sun.
 
Every day we get outside, regardless of the elements.
Our new rain suits have turned out to be a great investment!
We went to Starrigavan to pick salmon berries.  I ate all the berries!
 



Rosie was wearing my old extra-tuffs, but they were too big.





 
Next we headed to the beach.  It was pouring rain, but still fun!


 
Rosie took her boots off and went barefoot.

 
 Another rainy day and Rosie was wearing her new Guatemala dress.

 We went to dinner at Jamal and Angie's house for dinner.
They live at a hatchery, the farthest place away you can drive to in Sitka.
They had a fire, smores, fishing, half a million baby salmon,
magical lanterns that floated into the sky and fireworks!
I was totally blissed out.
 
Some of our other friends came out.  This is Iona. I gave her a hug.

 Rosie and I stayed up until after 11 PM!
Big night for us!
 
Here is the lantern.

 
Up it goes!
 
But then it fell.
 
Dad got it going again.

 
Dad had to work today so mom took us to the beach.
62 degrees and cloudy skies.

 
Rosie is always eating the sand.
 
Then she sat down so I suggested she join in my clothing freedom.


 
Mom finally said ok.





 
The beach in Washington is going to be delightful!
 
A little glimpse.
