Uncle Chris is coming!!

My brother is in medical school and on a break starting this weekend. He told me awhile back he had wanted to come up again before we leave but wasnt sure it would all work out. He called Sunday and we have been furiously making plans since then. We are going to drive down to Anchorage to get him this Saturday. Iam as excited to see him as to go to Anchorage and hit up target, the malls and eat a nice dinner out!!!! We will drive back here Monday morning and he will spend the week with us. I used my airline miles to get him a ticket back down to Anchorage the next Friday so he can fly out that night. Jack is very excited for Bud to come!!

Trip to Valdez- and ... the leaves are starting to turn and fall

These are pictures from our trip to Valedez! We had a wonderful time and saw a ton of wildlife and caught 10 fish! But as we get home the leaves are already starting to turn here and I have leaves in my front yard already!! We know that winter is just around the corner and it seems to be earlier this year! YIKES!!1
