We tried to show Jared some Alaska sites, but my pregnant/tired body didn't prove to be that adventurous. We did a few fun things, but mostly just hung out. He was able to check a few things off his bucket list though - seeing a moose (3 right out in our front yard!), seeing the Northern Lights (a poor display of them after driving around for an hour, but we saw them!), using an apple/peeler/corer/slicer, and eating moose meat. I count that as a successful trip.
The boys loved having him here and Isaac cried the whole way home from the airport, "Me no want Jared to go on his mission. That my uncle!!" Jared will be missed but we're excited for him to be a missionary!

| Jared made "robot" costumes for the boys. They were a hit. |
 |
| We tried ice skating at the local arena. And by "we", I mean Jared and Clark went for 20 minutes. Clark did pretty good for his first time. |
 |
| And Isaac just looked cute in his beanie |
 |
| We tried a cool park in Anchorage that had zip lines and cool swings. |
 |
| Anchorage Museum served us well - we even got the membership. |
 |
| This kid is killing me lately with his cuteness. Add that to his new found love of talking and it's pretty awesome. |
 |
| Jared is an animal whisperer. |
 |
| Isaac's face is the BEST. Zoom in. Jared, come back in 2 years and we'll try to do some more exciting things! But my boys will talk about your visit for weeks. |
