Yes, Wes is still in Alaska! He is able to call from his dad's cell phone to check in on a daily basis and says he is having a great time. He has been fishing every day and has caught some salmon to bring home! He caught a halibut as well, but with it only weighing in at 20 lbs it was much too small so he threw it back into the ocean. Really? 20 lbs is small?? He was able to take this picture on his phone and send it to me. It is of a telephone(?) pole in the front yard of their home. His father, Dan, had carved our names into it and even did some artwork for added effect! It may not seem like a big deal to some of you, but to those of you who know him...it is a big deal! Some may see this man as rough as the grizzlies that roam that Alaskan land, a bit reserved and hardened by the 30+ years on the police force. However, I am seeing that he may just be a bit of a teddy bear instead! Sorry Dan, the cat is out of the bag and your true colors are starting to shine through! You're a big softy deep down and we all know it! He's probably up there writing poetry in the woods right this moment! Thank you for the sweet sentiment, Father-in-Law. It is much appreciated and really quite adorable!

That is so sweet of him! What a nice thing for a father in law to do. I'm glad Wes is able to check in.
How thoughtful and sweet and talented... a very good drawing of a fish.

I can't wait to bite into that salmon!!! Bring on the butter and dill! BTW, I am a single mom this week too, come over to play!!!
That is sweet. It will be there forever. Emerson can bring his grandkids and show them. Really neat.
