Water Fight!!

I took moving pictures of the water fight but had to keep running for cover. Here are still pictures of the annual Coast Guard vs Sitka Firefighters contest. I have no idea who won.




I had to get up close to finally realize that the goal was to push the plastic kegs over a line with water power.



William had the best seat in the house for viewing the water fight.

Notice the drop of water on Charlotte from the fire hoses that sprayed the crowd.
Madison on her daddy and cousin William on friend Charlotte's shoulders. Charlotte was a helicopter pilot with Shana, but now is in school in Philadelphia. She came for the Baptism.




Most days during the summer, there are cruise ships in the harbors around Sitka. One those days the streets are crawling with tourists. We don't count ourselves in that group....

We enjoy bringing presents for the kids. Madison got to open them at our rental.

The parade and water fight tired Max out.


Madison loves to chat with "Auntie" Charlotte.
Lee Ann and Madison check out the flowers around our cabin in Sitka.
