Even though it's winter, we of course did some serious fishing. Ice fishing for trout on the river proved to be just as successful for them as it was for Heidi and I last Spring. My friend Henry took us up the river to his secret spot.
As well as fishing, we also did a bit of hunting. We were on the lookout for bear and grouse, but Slayton's sharp eye found a rabbit hiding in the willows.
With permission from our church, we stayed at the Covenant Church Bible Camp. While there, we chopped wood and helped out in other ways to prepare the camp for summer. We were very impressed with the camp and Slayton thinks he might like to come back in for the summer camp.
Here's a picture of Slayton riding an old John Deere, which was rusting away at an abandoned potato farm near Bible Camp. I'm sure he's making is Granddad proud.
Heidi and I were happy to have them visit and I hope they had as much fun as we did. I think they did, and we are already planning their next visit. Fall silver salmon fishing?

Slayton has heard talk about Bush Alaska all of his life. Now he has experienced a bit of it and has his own stories to share with friends. Glad that Slayton and his dad, Darin, had such a good time. Thanks, Damon and Heidi.
