Home Sweet Home

We made it home safe and sound last night. We had a wonderful vacation and took over 800 pictures, so I have lots to tell you about (don't worry, I won't post all 800 pictures!) The plan is to split the pictures into several posts over the next few days... Shall we get started?!

Pre-Alaska: We spent two days before we left hanging out with Dave's parents. We were supposed to get together with his little brother Andy and his family but one of his kids was throwing up so we didn't get to see them. His wife, Carrie, left with their four kids while we were in Alaska to visit her family. So, the kids got to spend one day with their cousins after Dave & I left but we didn't get to see Carrie or the kids. That was disappointing, especially since we won't go back to Oregon for 2 years. We're so sad we missed you Carrie! We did get to spend some time with Andy when we returned as he did not join his family on their trip.

The girls kept themselves busy making costumes out of construction paper. Grandma & Grandpa's dog went crazy when he saw them...Dave's mom and I had gone to the outlet mall and they didn't want to take their costumes off until we got home to see them; evidently, the dog barked the entire time we were gone. :)
Dan grilled some good ribs! He was getting us ready for our week of feasting (not to be misread as fasting!)
Carter loves the view from the roof!
