Visit from Mom and Dad

We've been enjoying a visit from Ryan's mom and dad for the past week. We've mostly had rainy cool weather but yesterday it was warm and sunny...so beautiful! They have been able to go horseback riding and today they are going up in an airplane to see the glacier and mountains from above in a small airplane with Duane King from Kingdom Air Corp. Last night we got a sitter for the kids and went out to Sheep Mountain Lodge for dessert and to hear the owner talk about his experiences with dog sled racing in the Iditarod. He won't be racing this coming March but his partner will be with their dog team. Very interesting to hear what all goes into the training for the team and the musher. Tomorrow through Saturday Ryan and his dad will be going on wilderness horse pack trip. A lot of hours in the saddle up in the mountains. Sounds like fun! Next week it's back to business but the summer camp season is done on Saturday so things will be quieter around here!
