We really DO have friends!

(*hint - click on the pictures to see them bigger! Hard to see in the tiny slideshow!*)
That's right! Josh and Sarah came up to vacation with us here in Alaska! It's been SOOO great to have them here with us and enjoy this time with them! They were able to head up to Denali national park for a few days on the Alaskan railroad and enjoy some hiking and even white water rafting (depsite Sarah being pregnant!!) My Josh was stuck working as usual... but because he did so fantastic on his physical fitness test last week - he got to take an extra day off work! So, he graciously kept Lily for the day on Friday so I could go play with our friends! We headed down to Whittier and out on a glacier tour! Here's a link to our pictures (too many to post!


The big Artic Thunder air show was also this weekend! Josh got to go to Whittier tody on a Halibut and Salmon fishing trip with our church -- so the rest of us packed up, had pizza at the Mooses Tooth (best pizza in Alaska...) then took off to base for the show! We got to see abunch of "our" (as in Elmendorf's) plane flying around and then the Thunderbirds!!! Most people are more familiar with the Blue Angels - the Navy stunt crew. This is the Air Force equivelant. It was great! I got a few pictures of that too!

My daughter and her husband lives at Elmendorf AFB on Luke Ave. and her husband Ben Post is Army stationed at Fort Rich. She/we are good friends with Bill and Becky Lowry/Jessica Lowry Bell and Richard Bell from Winston-Salem,NC. My daughter, Judith Post is PCA and they used to attend the PCA church in Anchorage but left and started going to the PCA in Wasilla/Palmer. You may have met at some time. She has red curly hair. I saw Jessica today and she told me about you and your family. Ben and Judith have Facebook under Ben Post. Maybe y'all could meet each other. Great pics!
