Summer visitors

It's been a fantastic summer for family and friend visits! My dad's cousin Aileen came up for the wedding and stayed on for some exploring of Southcentral Alaska. Darin's brother Doug and his girlfriend Jamie were up for a week and we had a really fun time with those two - fishing and enjoying my in-laws' hospitality on the Kenai. And one of my best friends and college roomies, Stephanie, came up for a long weekend visit. It's so quiet around here now - I miss everyone!

A zoo day with Boyd, Grandma Ann and Aileen.

We had a day of visitor overlap - Doug, Jamie and Stephanie. Dinner was a salmon feast out on the deck as we all enjoyed the warm, sunny weather.

Stephanie, Boyd and I visited the Glen Alps trail head to do a short hike on Powerline Pass and marvel at the Anchorage skyline.

Love this girl! We were missing our 3rd Musketeer - Emily - who is in Texas with a brand new baby girl.
