We all feel so blessed to call the Jared & Megan Speaks family our friends. They have been our camping company of choice this entire summer. What great people. Our families are perfect compliments. Their identical twins, Gavin & Asher, are best friends with Sam. Hyrum cannot get enough of Corbin. Our kids are so busy playing with each other that we get a bit of vacation ourselves to just visit, play games, or go for walks.
Here we are at the Alaska Maritime Wildlife Refuge (amazing and FREE). Afterwards we hiked down Beluga Slough to Bishop's Bay. On the way Megan and I ran into the 2 sisters and enjoyed a great lunch.

One afternoon we adults went on a double date and walked downtown on the Spit together. It was so fun to walk through the little shops and making snide comments on who could really afford to buy a knitted hat for $48, or a fish painting for $5000, or the amazing fish bowls for $160. We settled on $1 worth of postcards and the $15 Homer Fish and Chips. We enjoyed decent food and excellent conversation as we looked out over the ocean.
The Speaks are the King and Queen of good grub. Smores deluxe. Homemade Trail Mix. Toasted Pies on the Fire. CapriSuns, V8 Fruit Drinks, Hummus. This, in and of itself, has endeared every single one of the Bacon boys to them for life.

You had me at "Amazing" but free is also very enticing. Maybe I'll have to check out this so called wildlife center.
And, the giant fish definitely fueled my fire of wanting to come to Alaska.
