Camping on the Kenai Peninsula

This weekend was the long-awaited and anticipated Nhep family camp trip. We went down the Kenai Peninsula to Ninilchik where we camped at Heavenly Sights and clammed on Ninilchik beach. We all had a great time and a few tried fishing in Homer, only to catch only one. But, we went home with I believe 14 fish... how? Well- some kids fishing next to us didn't care to take theirs home- so kept offering them to us. Of course, we were happy to take them off their hands. The following tell enough of the story. I will say that some of the better photos I was very excited about... as I just invested in a pretty decent Canon lens for my slr. All I can say is that it is amazing and it's only the start of ownership. It will get plenty of use! Hope you all had a happy 4th of July!

Looks like you had a great time! You took some beautiful photos. I really liked the sunset shots and the ones of Kyson on the beach. Think that new camera lens was a good buy! RH
