Alaska

We took a trip to Alaska at the end of May. It was nice to be back and show David where I grew up.

My dad had a photographer friend come and take family pictures:

We went to the musk ox farm in Palmer. There were 12 babies this year. The musk ox are raised for their qiviut which is made into yarn and knitted into very soft hats and scarves.

David loved my parents dog Nugget, and she loved the attention.
My mom and I took David to Wonderland Park in Wasilla, which was even larger than I remembered and he really enjoyed it.
Corrie and I got to have dinner together, we have know each other for a long time and I always enjoy catching up.

This is from when we went mini golfing. The county has a 9-hole course that is free if you bring your own putter.

We have been hiking and walking a lot lately. David loves holding the dogs' leashes.Cheese!
