Extreme Tubing with the Wise Family (Thank you Matt for taking all these kids on such a fun trip)
Nikiski Pool with the Wise Family. What a blast it was to get a text from Matt saying they were on their way! Maya loved sliding and so did Riley and Chris after the life guard promised them a pizza if they could get down the slide in 6 seconds. Guess who was doing the counting? Guess who didn't get a free pizza?

Anchorage! 
After a long car ride we arrived at the whole towel (hotel as Marina likes to call it) for a swim. 
Falcom, Marina and I went to see a 3-D movie.

Skating! Vince and I took our kids on a time warp to our own childhoods by going skating. 
Marina won the race for the 10 and under girls. She got a coupon for a free soda! Very exciting. Falcom came in 4th for the 10 and under boys.
We had a great time hanging out together. We even made our way to Chuck E. Cheese before heading home.

It is so funny to me because we have been waiting for this baby to erupt since I was in Saipan. Fortunately, we made it home from Anchorage before the eruption. The wind is pushing the ash up past Anchorage, so it looks like for now we won't have to worry...I'll keep you posted.
