Grandma and Grandpa had a great visit. We hung out a lot at the condo, playing games, went to movies and ate lots of great food. On Friday Mike and I took of work to go for a Drive down to Girdwood. It was a beautiful day. We left Anchorage around 10 just as the sun was peaking over the mountains so the sky was full of orange and pinks! Halfway to Girdwood we stopped to have a closer look at some Dall Sheep who were munching on the grass. Then we went to the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center. (http://www.alaskawildlife.org/) We saw Moose, Caribou, 2 types of Bison, Musk Ox, and Elk. Mike found an Elk that was posing for him! After the Conservation Center we drove back north to Girdwood and went into Alyeska Hotel and Resort to show G&G the Mountain that we go skiing on and look in the hotel shops. We decide to go to Chair Five for Lunch and then stopped at the Girdwood Bakery to pick up a couple apple fritters for breakfast Saturday Morning. Friday night we played a couple games and hung out with Samantha, Hans and Jacob. I was so sad to drop G&G off at the Airport on Saturday Morning but I know they had a great trip.

So who is coming to stay with us Next?
