Thursday, July 9. 2009Visit to see "THE KIDS"
FINALLY made it to Anchorage to see "THE KIDS"...its been 210 days since they moved
(Yes I'm counting) Tara fixed dinner our first nite there....she is a 'very good cook'. After dinner we went to COLD STONE for ice cream. After we got there and everyone ordered we realized they didn't have enough places for us all to sit so we hurried back to their house to eat it before it melted. We had all these plans of things to do while we were there but due to circumstances beyond our control some didn't work out. First Tara's car broke down, there was rain, cold, a marathon but we still had a great time. Orlo is taking nite and weekend college classes to become a "Phlebotomist " so both weekends we were there we went to his school and "let him practice drawing blood" AND he's very good at it too. Second nite we took sub sandwiches and chips for dinner. Saturday we took the kids shopping. Sunday we had a family dinner at Orlo's Uncle Shayne and Aunt Ethel's. Was nice to meet some of Orlo's family Monday we drove on down to Homer. We came back on Friday. We thot we'd surprise them and took some ice cream and when we got there Tara was making brownies. OH YUMMM... After we stuffed ourselves we walked over to the kids school. They played on the playground and burned up some of their energy. Saturday we drove up to Mt. Flat Top which has a really great view of Anchorage...but it was ohhh so cold and windy. That evening (our last there) we went out for dinner at "Gwennies Old Alaska Restaurant".The chicken fry's are to die for. Went back to the house for our last hugs and goodbyes. I found out that second time goodbyes are NOT any easier. Whoever said "parting is such sweet sorrow" was not a Grandparent! THX Kids for a great time.....was just too short. see ya next summer (if not before)  click on photo to see the rest of pictures I brought home more "Refrigerator Art" and my "Lucky Rocks" from Ethan THANK YOU ALL!
