CLAMMING!

So I know this is a little out of order, but I didn't get these pics from my dad until the other day and I wanted to post them. This was at the very beggining of our summer in Alaska while my dad was with us. The clam tide was really good and so we headed out to go camping in Ninilchik and get some clams. It was about the coldest day of the whole summer and Skip and I are the only ones who actually ended up even digging for the clams.

We walked the kids all the way out to where we were going just to turn around and bring them right back, crying the whole way about being cold!
Then they sat in they trailer trying to defrost!
Skip digging for a clam. You really have to get into the mud up to your armpit to get them!
Us coming back with our catch! We were SOOOO dirty!

Aren't they ugly little suckers!
Just a little video of that day.

How fun is that!!! Besides the coldness, it sounds like fun, even if I hate clams. I will eat them in clam chowder.
