Uncle Bud's(Chris) visit and our trip to Anchorage

We drove to Anchorage very early on Saturday the 22nd of August. We had a wonderful view of Denali (Mt. McKinley)!!!!!
























We did quite a bit of shopping and had a nice lunch while we waited to pick up Chris at the airport! After Chris got in we ate at Outback Steakhouse which is our favorite although we don't have one up here. On Sunday we did some sightseeing and more shopping! Monday morning we got up and drove to Talkeetna- where Chris and Ryan were scheduled to take a flight seeing tour of Denali. As we approached the weather was continually cloudy and there was a slight rain. They were told that we might go up by 1pm but nothing could be determined until the weather cleared!
























So instead of waiting the FIVE hours with a small child- Chris rescheduled for later on in the week!
We did stop in Denali at the Visitors Center and walked around and enjoyed all the new exhibits.






















We got home that evening and Jackson was VERY happy to be out of the carseat! On the way home we stopped at a playground to run off some energy- See all the boys/kids needed it!























Chris and Ryan did go back to take their flight seeing tour the next day- Chris called early and they said the weather was beautiful there! Here are some pics- They actually saw Denali (see pics_) and landed on a glacier! They had alot of fun!!!
















We had alot of fun and Jackson was very sad to see Bud leave. We can't wait to move closer so that Jackson can see family alot more often!! He has asked about Bud several times over the last few weeks!!
