Mom and Dad Came to Visit!

A couple of weeks ago, I was blessed with the presence of...my parents! They flew up all the way from Colorado to spend a week with me. How luck am I?! We did a whole smattering of things including a day trip to the one and only Talkeetna (where we met the mayor, who if you have not heard, just so happens to be a cat), a hike in beautiful Hatcher's Pass, a train ride up to Denali National Park, a bus ride into the park (where we saw all sorts of animals from bears to arctic ground squirrels to dall sheep), and lots more. It was so fun to have mom and dad here and to simply spend some good quality time with them. I just wish Brian could have been there! I am already looking forward to the next time we're all together. Enjoy a few pics from their visit!

Where Mt. McKinley should be (when it's clear, the base of the mountain would fill the entire width of this picture)

There were a couple of drop-offs...

Many much moosen!

So fun to have mom and dad here!
