Uncle Rudy

This week my brother Rudy came to visit before heading back up to work fishing in Alaska. For those of you familiar with the show "The Deadliest Catch", that is exactly what my brother does. So crazy!!! I think he is part of the same fleet of ships that are on the show. I'm not sure exactly but he knows the crews that are a part of the show. I have seen the show a few times but I have a hard time watching it because it scares me knowing that Rudy is out there doing such a dangerous job. He has shown us some pretty cool pictures though like ones of him laying in a big tank full of king crab. It was fun having him here and Kaylee loved getting to spend some time with her Uncle Rudy. The following are some pictures taken during Rudy's visit and I also included pictures of a few of his adventures in Alaska. Enjoy!

I watch that show all the time, thats crazy that he does that! I was wondering what he looked like, cause over all the years that I have known your family, I have never met Rudy....
