“The submission of one’s will is really the only uniquely personal thing we have to place on God’s altar. The many other things we ‘give’ … are actually the things He has already given or loaned to us.”

Homer Beach & The Chainsaw Festival







Kaye's family were up visiting her so they decided to drive down here for a couple of days and explore on the Kenai Peninsula.

One day we all went down to Homer and had lunch on the Homer Spit. It was very windy but hanging out on the beach is always a little bit fun.

The next day we all went to the Chainsaw festival just outside of town. It's a very cool little place where everything is carved out of wood. We took some pics on a very Alaskan sort of carousel...all the animals were carved from wood. The Bug and Malia loved it!

The Bug wasn't in the best mood. He rode with Malia to the festival just ahead of us, and right before we got there, they were taking a pic together in front of a big wooden moose and as they were getting down they both fell. Somehow they both hit their heads on rocks and cracked their heads open. Malia's didn't really bleed, but she was very traumatized by The Bug's bleeding head. She felt really bad for him. But, he recovered quickly. It probably should've had stitches, but it was in his hair, and no one will ever see that scar...until he goes bald like his dad. Poor kid! :) So, we just stayed at the festival and hung out. So, he's not real smiley, b/c I think he had a bit of headache.

It was fun to hang out with Kaye's family...they are like our family too.
