Well we had bad news and good news today. The bad news was that we got rained out of Denali today. The good news was the storm passed through and it should be clear on the mountain tomorrow. So we improvised and moved our Monday activity to today. We went down and spent time at the Alaska Visitor Center today and downtown Anchorage.
We then went to Peggy's for lunch (a place where the locals eat). The neat thing about Peggy's is that it is situated right next to the glide path of Merrill Field which is an airstrip that is used by private and corporate pilots. We got to watch planes land the whole time we ate. We then went to the mall located in downtown Anchorage. The kids soon found out that a mall in Alaska looks like a mall in any other town. We did let the kids have their phones back for the day so they could catch up with family and friends. We did let them know we wanted them back, which they did not have a huge problem with. It is nice when they don't have phones because the interact with the group and are not always on their phones.
We are back in Chugiak at Our Redeemer Lutheran Church and we have been having movie time in the youth room. It was fun last night watching the Italian Job and everyone watched and enjoyed it.
Sorry for a short blog, but not to much else to report. We are planning a Denali trip tomorrow morning which I personally am looking forward to seeing!
That is all for today!
Mike
