The Month of JULY

This last month has been so busy! but we have had a lot of fun. It started out with us going to New Hampshire for our family reunion. The Labrecque family, Patras Family, Knight Family, and uncle Aaron all stayed at the Murry family's house. We had a lot of fun swimming in there pool everyday, we went and did the Freedom trail and saw the USS constitution, and lots of other historic sites it was really fun and beautiful. We also went to Plymoth Plantion which I thought was not as good as it could of been! they only had a few actors, and one chicken and a few goats. What made it even worse was that it was scorching hot out and we all were melting. Ben took the kids and I to the New Skete Monestary in Cambridge New York, which was only 2 hours away. Ben, Mom and Dad, James and John, Cyp and Paul went up to the Ben and Jerry's factory in Burlington New York which was 4 hours away. All and all we had a blast



Ps: thank you Murry's for all the fun and hospitality.!!!!!!!



So we got back the 13th of July which was a hassle because our flight kept getting delayed and we did not leave the Atlanta Airport till 6 and got home 10:00 Alaska time. My brother Picked up Ben friend Matthew O'Gorman earlier in the day. So on Monday I went and got Matt from Peter's house. So went another fun and busy week showing Matt Alaska! the kids and I took Matt down to Seward, we went on a cruise around Resurrection Bay, We saw so many wildlife, sea otters, Sea lions, Bald Eagles, Killer Whales, Many different Birds. On the way back we drove to see Exit Glacier and a black bear ran across the road. Then we stop to eat, and on our way out across the road were two Brown Bear!!!!!AWESOME!!!!! so if you think that is all right before we got to anchorage we saw a herd of mountain goats. The one thing Matt wanted to see was a Moose and so far NO MOOSE! So the Friday the 18th Phil comes up, that night we went took Matt and Phil camping at Eklutna. Which I think was Matt's first camping trip if not it was his first in Alaska. Then Saturday Drew and his friend Eric came up, and Finally Sunday Bonnie arrives!! So on the way to the airport to drop Matt off Ben and him saw a Moose. : )



So week three: with Phil and Bonnie, Drew and Eric. They did a lot Drew and Eric hiked Crow creek trail in two day's and one night, Phil and Bonnie stayed at Alyaska Hotel, one night. Ben, Becca and I took the kids swimming there. P and B and D and E went down to Seward. Then we went Camping Friday night it did not rain until we went to bed but then it did not stop the whole day! so we packed up and went home that evening, we went over to Pete's a Becca's house and played cards.



Phil and Bonnie left Sunday night the boys left in the morning.
