Another fun filled day for us. We went and visited Lori's college friend. It was fun to catch up on each other's lives in person.
Besides that we did not a lot. The kids went crazy picking Aunt LeMay's dandelions to make some dandelion jelly. Sounds interesting.
This is one of the great parks close to the house, unfortunately the weather has not been the greatest to go again. Hopefully it will clear up and get warm.
On the agenda for tomorrow - the kids are going fishing with daddy, and mommy will finish up her school work. I know you all know I will probably be napping but it sounds good doesn't it. Tomorrow night it is tacos at Uncle Vern and Aunt Connies - so the kids can terrorize Snoopy!
A nice quiet day and some good friends and family - what a blessing. God Bless You!

The boys had a fantastic time at the lake. I think Bruce would love to come up every summer and spend time there fishing. It was a dream come true.
Josh is the winner from fishing - he caught three - Bruce one, Doug and Brendon none. This is a picture of Josh's Lake Trout - 22 1/2 inches long - it had to be 24 inches to keep. So all we have is the picture.
This is Sunday - and they just got home. Uncle Doug is BBQ ing the greyling that Josh caught, Bruce's char, and Josh's char. Not that I will be eating them but everyone else is so excited.
Last night was Summer Solstice here - I went to the grocery store at 8:30 and you would have thought there was a huge party going on - it is awesome reading when I go to bed at 11 - without a light.
As you can tell we are having a great time. Tomorrow we will visit with my college friend - then Wednesday heading to Seward. So more pictures coming up.
Thanks for all the prayers - we are having a great time!

We spent Friday hanging out in Palmer Alaska. You know growing up here, I did not know that Musk Ox are native to Alaska and almost extinct. But there is a Musk Ox Farm bringing them back.
This is a momma shedding her coat - she is only about 700 pounds. It was interesting learning about them and the Quivet - special fur underneath that is so soft. I don't know who enjoyed it more - the kids or us.
We then went to the Tsunami Warning Center for all of US - it was awesome and so educational. We got some great thing to bring back for our science teachers.
The boys left and headed to the lake and cabin for some serious fishing.
Woohoo on our first day here we were peeling potatoes and making dumplings. Yummy our Norwegian heritage and potato dumplings.
This is Josh and Aunt Connie - grating the potatoes. Aunt LeMay invited the whole family over so there 15+ of us. It was fantastic.
It was a beautiful sunny day and we loved being out on Aunt LeMay's gorgeous new deck. There was lots of laughter and love that night. A highlight for us and part of the reason we are here.
Love The Henrys
We made it to Anchorage Alaska on Monday the 16th at 11:00 pm. On our way home from the airport we saw our first moose - we have seen him since so we are calling him Bullwinkle.
We are having a great time with family. What a blessing to have a beautiful state to go to and to be with our loving family.
We will update here as adventures happen - watch for fish photos and all the fun!
Having a great time in Alaska!
