Not that I did that or anything today after my mom left from her week with us.
Not that I would ever do that...I'm just saying it's nice to be able to if you wanted too...
Anyway we had a great time with my mom on her first trip to Alaska. The best part actually came about an hour before she left when she told us that while Ben was showing her Maine a couple of weeks ago on her visit to his house, he said, "I bet Nicole is going to try to top this."
What Mom didn't say was, "Well of course, Ben. It is Alaska after all."
What the good mother that she is said was, "I didn't know it was a contest!"
What dear mother's everywhere ought to know by now is that it is ALWAYS a contest amongst siblings.
Here are the highlights (of which I won):
Northern Lights
Mt. McKinley
Carter's high school debut as Young Rip in the play Rip Van Winkle
Seward Sea Life Center
Kenai Peninsula
Fall foliage
Lots of lunches out
Grandkids of which I am the proud owner of 3/4 of those and in which Ben has none.
All documented with our camera we recently got replaced...free of charge :)
ps- I love you Ben!
but Alaska will always top Maine...just sayin'

You crack me up! And so does mom's Dr. Pepper bottle in that one pic. Glad it was a good trip. You better be ready to do that again when we come up :)
I love this time of year in Alaska, I miss it! The scenery pictures are gorgeous.
You are lucky that you saw the Northern lights, I still haven't seen them. I also haven't seen Denali in months, it's always gorgeous. Your mom looks very happy, I am glad she had fun!
Ha! You're right. Probably can't top Alaska.
I love it! I'm glad your mom could visit, but I totally know what you mean about not being able to run free with company in the house. It is seriously so beautiful there. It reminds me of Washington. ;) Great news about your camera replacement, too!
It's always fun when Grandma comes...what a great visit for all of you. It looks so beautiful there...I want to come visit!!!!
SO much fun - I really miss my parents since having kids. It seems that when I know what they're missing, I want them to witness it first hand even more - grandkids are totally the best!! :D ... so is Alaska. Sorry Ben... I'm sure Maine is great too.
