Guests from Michigan

Opa's brother Glen with his wife (Terri) and daughter (Shannon) came to visit this past week. They arrived at 2AM or so on Saturday night (going into Sunday) and left tonight at 11PM. They had a lot they wanted to see and do during their six days in Alaska, so they were not in our home a lot, but when they were we had a great time with them. 

The trio loved Kara's cousin Shannon (age 16/17). She was a very good sport and played multiple games with them. She went up to the bedroom in the evening and took turns reading books (they gave her) on their beds. Bentley trapped her one evening and started going through every piece of paper in his art bin. He did dragon drawings for each of the three guests. Viva made Shannon a rubberband bracelet. Bentley and Jake put on a magic show for the guests. Thursday evening the older three children hiked Flat Top with the guests, Daddy, and Opa. Lincoln and Evan were friendly, but not like their older siblings.

Opa spent the most time with our guests. He took a couple of days/afternoons off work and accompanied them on adventures. It was nice to have family visit us from Outside. Summer is fun for many different reasons: guests is one reason!
