Just a quick update as we await the late arrival of my sister tonight. Mom and Dad arrived without trouble on Saturday night. It's been a BEAUTIFUL couple days: clear, sunny and in the 70s. Denali was fully visible- it was awesome. I took them to the Flattop Overlook to see the Anchorage bowl and surrounding areas, we checked out the Anchorage Market (to get more jam :), then we headed out for a hike to a waterfall.
Having to work last night was a blessing because I ran into my preceptor's husband who was looking for a fly-fishing companion for this week. He graciously offered to take Dad on a fishing trip today, so Dad was able to get a 24hr fishing license and some hip waders and then headed south to the Russian River. He caught a silver salmon (dinner tomorrow!) and spotted some wildlife up close, including a hungry bear. It sounded like an awesome trip, but pictures won't be available until his battery gets charged (both him AND the camera).
While Cody had to work, I took a short nap while Mom was able to soak up the awesome sunshine and take advantage of nearby running trails. We welcomed my dear friend Sarah and her hubby Craig this afternoon and were fortunate enough to be able to have dinner together.
We're currently waiting on Erin's 12:30am arrival (some of us more conscious than others). We have another full day tomorrow, although the weather isn't looking to be quite as grand.
Thanks so much for all those that have sent gifts and cards: thank yous will be in the mail as soon as possible! :)
