I am trying to update my blog from the summer so please forgive me. These are pictures from our cruise to Alaska with Marks parents for there 50th wedding anniversary. I can't believe how fun of a trip it was. We did miss our children who did not go with us but there were in good hands with some of our neighbors and family. I want to thank all that helped us I really do appreciate it. My mom and dad took Aubrey and Jonah for 6 day Kelly Stokes for a day Paige Loveland for a day and Amy Wood for 2 thanks. Noelle stayed with her friend Hailey for 4 day and then went to girls camp at Heber Valley camp for the rest of the week. Our good neighbors the Lee's took Andrew and Matthew for the 10 day we were gone. All of the kids had a blast with there friends. On June 11 we got up early and picked Mark's parents up at there house and his sister Eileen and then we were off to the airport. We parked and got in the airport and met up with his brother and his wife and his sister Jeannie and her husband. They were tired because they had just finished putting on a all night graduation party for West High. We had a enjoyable flight and then landed in Seattle. We had a van come pick us up and take us to our Hotel were marks sister Tedann was going to meet us. She had flown in from Amsterdam the day before. We were all excited to be together for this great event. We walked to the Space neddle but on the way we stopped at a Glassblowing shop that was amazing. I enjoyed it a lot. We then went to lunch at the Sky City restaurant at the top of the Seattle space needle. The restaurant moves the whole time you are up there so you can get a 360 degree view of Seattle in about 1 hour. The food was amazing and we had an awsome dessert that was put on dry ice and smoked when they served it. I had salmon that was to die for. We then rode on a monrail and went to Pikes Market near the water it was a lot of fun. We then returned to the hotel and took a rest. Later that evening we went to Cheesecake factory for dinner it was great. The next day we slept in something we do not get to do with kids and got ready to go on the boat. We arrived at the boat about 12 and got checked in and was able to eat lunch on the boat. We had a muster drill which prepares you for any emergency that may arise during your trip and then we went to dinner. Mark's dad's only request for this trip was that we all eat dinner together. This was one of my most favorite memories of the trip. We all were able to sit and enjoy a good meal but also be together.
