For the 4th of July, we went to Chitina to try our hands at dip-netting. Arthur's "Uncle Johnny" came along, too. It was - at times - an exhausting trip, but I think overall we had a good time.
Arthur was pretty excited to be at the Copper River. He had a blast at the camp site throwing rocks into the water, climbing a huge rock pile (so we climbed the big rock pile and held him in our arms), and digging in the silt. I think it was fun for him to be in a different place with different scenery. He didn't want to go to bed...and we probably shouldn't have made him go to bed so early. He wasn't ready to sleep.
When we finally did get him in the tent, he babbled for a bit before he said, "Let me out..." We tried hard not to laugh out loud. Robinson checked on him and it turned out it was a ruse! He completely tricked us! It took him a while to get to bed...we sang so many songs...and then I went to sleep in the car because he kept playing with Blue Doggie. (Apparently, Blue Doggie kept pooping in the tent...bad dog!)We didn't catch anything, so we went home early. As it turns out, Robinson's boss also went to Chitina this weekend. He caught over 20 fish. We were definitely fishing in the wrong place!
I hope everyone enjoyed their day of independence.
Blessed be.
