They made it!

After two flights that made it over half way to Anchorage before being diverted back to Seattle due to erruptions from Redoubt volcano, my dad, Cathleen, Caitlin and Marie finally arrived in Anchorage for a week long visit. The days we missed on the front side were made up on the back side when their departing flight was cancelled. Stupid volcano! We were so happy that they made it up here and had lots of fun.
