Homer birthday 2013

My annual birthday celebration in Homer (back in early August) was a great time with family. Everyone managed to take time out of their busy schedules - it was D and I, plus Boyd - my mom, Risha, and Gabe - and Don & Mim.  The week before we left, I treated myself to a haircut and highlights. It felt so great to get rid of those greys!

Overall Boyd slept well in the camper - had one rough night but the rest went fine. For some reason Boyd constantly wanted to visit the camper bathroom. He'd point at the toilet and shower, then want to look in the mirror and up at the ceiling vent.

The boys did a lot of fishing while us gals shopped, roamed around Homer and generally took it easy.

Hanging out at the local farmer's market and jamming to some live music.

Seaweed in the shape of a fish.

This sweet boy loved the beach.

It tended to be overcast and rainy for most of the weekend. To the right of the photo, you can see a guy stand-up paddleboarding in Kachemak Bay.

Awesome pizza at a little place on the boardwalk. I believe this was pear/gorgonzola and pepperoni. Risha and I slipped away one afternoon during Boyd's nap to walk around the spit.

Heading out for a quick few hours of fishing Monday morning before leaving town.

Halibut fishing!

Curious sea otters.
