...lookin' back on Alaska

I've been so busy after Alaska I haven't shared some of the highlights of the trip. The last weekend we were in Alaska, Missy, Ken, Elise, and Adele braved the rainy weather and took us rafting down the Chulitna River. We camped overnight and ate smores cooked over the camp stove (too rainy for a fire). We had seen one little black bear and lots of tracks, so we were hoping for no encounters.

Elise and Adele did great even though it was cold and wet. Tough girls! And so cute. We parked our boat on the beach and ate lunch in Talkeetna. What a cool little town. Missy and I realized we hadn't seen each other since before Dave and I got married, so it was a very welcome visit. They are such a fun/cool family and very good friends. Wish we got to see them more. Thanks for the hospitality Ken and Missy!
