Nathan got a holiday today - "Seward's Day". From Wikipedia:
Seward's Day is a legal holiday in the U.S. state of Alaska. It falls on the last Monday in March and commemorates the signing of the Alaska Purchase treaty on March 30, 1867. It is named for then-Secretary of State William H. Seward, who negotiated the purchase from Russia.
It should not be confused with Alaska Day, which marks the formal transfer of control over Alaska from Russia to the United States.
Nathan got Alaska day off back in October. We're loving these Alaskan holidays. So we treated it as a holiday, and went out for a stroll. Went to the picnic area at local beach. We saw lots of porpoises, lots of ducks, and then saw some very strange bubbles, we soon discovered what was making them, as two scuba divers emerged. The local dogs thought they were great:

Then walked to the point, where the boys examined all the finds:


A rainbow appeared in the distance:

We ended our adventure with a little climbing at the "jungle gym":
