Dad was able to come home for two weeks then headed back to Afghanistan for 6 MORE months. It was so fun to have him home. We went to Denali for a few days and brought the good ol' trailer- who sleeps in tents these days? We saw some awesome animals-caribou, brown bears, red foxes, moose, dall sheep, and apparently there was a pack of wolves(I couldn't see anything, but everyone kept telling me they were there). The scenery here is truly breathtaking and the mountains are so majestic. As for the weather... this has been the worst Alaskan summer-EVER. We were fortunate enough to take the bus ride up to Denali on a sunny day. I'm sorry to say it's probably the last we've seen of the precious sun. We didn't see the famous mountain- McKinley, but we got a picture of the clouds covering it. That counts, right? While dad was here we also rafted the Eagle River. Katherine and Daniel came along for the ride too. We brought a cooler along and enjoyed the nice slow waters. Alaska is beautiful- there's no denying it! (The pictures go from bottom to top- in order).
Poor mom's life jacket didn't fit.

Mt. McKinley is directly behind us. (Behind the clouds)

Hi Aimee. This is Dulcie, Russ Claytons wife. I found your blog through your sister Katherine's. Your blog is really cute! I love your background.
I have a favor to ask. My sister is up here now after two years at a college in Oklahoma. She doesn't have very good roommates and is having a difficult time adjusting to the way things are done in Rexburg. I was hoping that maybe you'd give her a call and get to know her, maybe give her a friend. She's a fun girl but like I said she's really struggling. Her number is 918-814-5399. You don't have to, I just thought you two would really get along. Thanks Aimee!
I forgot to tell you her name. It's Sofia Burns.
