Gramma Pam & Dru In Alaska

My Mom and my Nephew came up to visit us for a little over two weeks in late July. We ended up spending quite a bit of time just hanging out hoping the rain would stop but it was fun just the same. Wyatt and Dru became great pals, I even got in some extra sleep while Gramma and Dru entertained Wyatt. Any time the rain let up we made a dash for it and got outside while we could.

We took the boat out on Clearwater Lake and made a run up the Tanana river.


Can't see everyone here but we got the whole gang (3 dogs, 2 goats, 1 gramma, 2 boys, mama, papa and 2 friends from Fairbanks) all out for a nice afternoon walk behind the house.


Checking out Rika's roadhouse, climbing on fences is fun for boys.

Wyatt still says, "Dru see peacocks" almost everytime we drive past Rika's.


We also made it to the Delta Fair. This was Wyatt's first ride :)


Delta's favorite pastime...Mud boggin'

Next we headed back into Fairbanks to pick up Grandpa and do some gold panning.
Dru poses with the train conductor at the goldmine. Gramma took all the pictures this day, well most days actually. Someday maybe I will post a few of hers.
Gotta stop at the pipeline.
And on to the next fair in Fairbanks. Wyatt knew just what to do at the petting zoo.More rides for everyone. I didn't think we would get the boys out of there, they couldn't get enough of the rides.
Back to Delta for family day at the farmers market. No rides here but there were food crafts including finger painting with chocolate pudding.
