I know, I'm horrible at keeping on top of things. I'll try harder to keep on top of my blog. I am just so swamped with work and school! I finished my physics early tonight though so now I have a little time to squeeze this in! Life is going awesome here in the Wright household! We are refinancing our house right now(yeah!) and we're also looking into getting me a new car! I am in dire need. Mine is on it's last leg. We're not sure what yet, but I want an SUV because it can hold more people than a truck, but it still has 4-wheel drive. And I'll tell you , you really need that commuting from Eagle Mountain in the winter! Let me finish off the Alaska trip, then I'll try to hurry up and do a couple of other snip-its. Well, after Denali we ran over to a barbecue with Craig and Marie. They sure were characters! But they were also complete sweethearts! They let us come over and use the shower wh
en we ran out of water, and they also let me use their computer to turn in homework assignments. They are great! At the barbecue the boys thought they'd give the stilts a try. It was hilarious! Brandon could not get the hang of it to save his life! Tyler was a natural though. The next spot we visited was the North Pole!!! Before you get your hopes up
I think I should warn you that it's not what you would picture it being. It is apparently the drug capital of Alaska. It was scary driving down the streets there, yet quite comical to see candy-cane light-poles and a McDonald's that looked like it was in the North Pole. Santa's house also looked a little iffy from the outside...but they did have the "Reindeer" outside! After we looked at the reindeer we went inside and they had so much fun stuff
to look at! We bought some ornaments and a few decorations. Tyler fell in love with a moose carved out of wood that held a sign. It could say "Welcome" or "Go Away"....I bet we all know which sign is always showing in our home. If you don't know, then you obviously don't know Tyler very well. We all got a chance to sit in Santa's chair to
o, and I got to sit on my Santa's lap! The next shop we stopped at was really cool. It was called the "Knotty Shop". Good name. It has a lot of souvenirs, but it was known for it's wood creations made of Knotty Alder. They had some cool one's out front that we got a picture with. It was called, "Alaskan Mosquito". I would agree. We only encountered mosquitos once while up there, but they were a swarm!!!! You didn't leave any skin uncovered! After this fun little excursion it was time for the real reason for the whole trip...the boys' hunt! They were excited, but apprehensive. I'll do my next blog on their adventures, as well as the girls in Valdez!
