so only 2 more days with Pa & Ma (aka Don & Debi) before they leave for home...then my brother jake gets here on august 11th followed by my mom & step-dad on august 16th...i'm just glad we didn't have to travel at all with the kids this summer...chad & i went to anchorage last week (july 20-22), we went with 3 bags & came home with 9 (got a good deal on some nice luggage), the only down side of the trip is that our hotel charged to use the gym ($10 on 1st day & $5 each additional day), so needless to say i went that whole week without working out...another "yucky" day here in kodiak with fog, clouds & some rain, we'll have to find something fun to do INSIDE!!!
