4th of July was a dream this year... gorgeous weather- wonderful ride out there from our good friends Phillipe, Cecile & Agathe, whom we were able to visit last year near this same time in Corsica. The boat journey was incredible- At one point Phillipe cut the engine and we just listened in awe to the nearly constant sound of whale blows surrounding us (and smelled the faint stink of whale breath). We were able to stop at Refuge Rock for a quick walk to the location where the Russians slaughtered the Alutiiq people in hiding.

4th of July Celebrations!
Go Carly, Eilidh and Agathe!
At the 4th of July dance....
I swear we tried to stop her from going out there, but it just happened too fast. Eilidh felt sorry for this little girl having no one to box and was trying to be nice. Very soon she realized that it was a bad situation- she wouldn't hit her because she was so small and she didn't want to hurt her, but this little girl was intent on getting Eilidh! Thankfully she did the right thing by running out of the rink at some point. :-(

Hill race (Eilidh did great- she was one of the first ones to the top, but came down nice and slow, disappeared for a while, and ran slowly across the finish line with a big bunch of flowers for mom!)
