Grandpa and MeeMee come to town!

 Although when we moved here, my dad grouchily swore he would NEVER come visit us in the winter, we finally convinced him this year. Luckily the kids stayed cute, so we had some incentive there. Also luckily, the weather took a break from the sub-zero fun-fest we'd been having and stayed in the 20's and 30's during their trip.

First on the agenda was a dogsled ride. Kind of random, but there was a Groupon, and it seemed like one of those "only in Alaska" type of opportunities, so we went ahead with it. Here are Dad and Joanie all geared up!

Here we are waiting in the car for Dad and Joanie to finish. The kids were troopers this day. They got to tag along during the hour's ride out there, and then wait for both sets of grown-ups to take their ride, then drive home. They did get to go out to lunch twice though, so I guess that's a bonus!


 After that, James and I had a chance to take our turn on the sled!



Is it just me, or do I look like my mom in that pic? ^^
