Day 1: Hung out with the Powells shoveling compost and topsoil - nothing better than dirt to keep a boy happy. (see the Powell work party post for photo)
Day 2: Built a catapult at Lowe's. Slater put in all the nails and even did some pounding himself! Didn't like the rubber band attachment - so the catapult is not really functional, but Slater is proud of it anyway. Then went to the Large Animal Research facility, took a hayride, viewed musk-ox, reindeer and caribou babies, then headed home to finish loading up for a trip to Grandma and Grandpa's in Cantwell.
Day 3: Baby Jade is up and walking!! Taking as many as 7 steps between objects! Enjoying the moment to much for photos (oops) - I am sure that Dad will get some good video footage to post in the next day or two.
Day 4: Putting the plane on floats with G and G. We were instrumental in the whole process. Mt. McKinley was out in all of her glory and we topped off the whole experience with Slater's first flight in the Super Cub - again no picture because I accidentally left G-ma with a full memory stick :( That afternoon we hung-out with the Williams family and meet their new additions - Rosa and Babe - 40 pounds of pork.
Day 5: Walking, throwing rocks, waving at trains, a late birthday pizza party for Uncle Dan, and heading home to Fairbanks.
Day 6: Getting everything cleaned up and anxiously awaiting the afternoon arrival of Dad's plane. Lots of screaming, clapping, hugging, hopping and laughter for the rest of the evening ;)
