Mac and Mary's Visit

Last week we had the opportunity to host C.O.'s Mom and Dad. We had a great time and were very excited to show them where and how we live. They arrived on Monday in what was was to be four full days of a raging storm. Their original flight to Brevig was canceled so C.O. switched them over to another airline and they amazingly made it in.

After that, we were all pretty much stuck inside the house due to the snow and wind. But I think Mac and Mary made the most of it and enjoyed spending time with their grandson.

"Ahhh, Grandpa did my hair."

The weather finally cleared up on Friday so, we took a walk around town then went to the school for some elementary basketball games.

C.O. and I took advantage of free baby sitters and took a little snow machine ride to the top of a hill and enjoyed the winter scenery. C.O. then took his Mom for a ride to the base of the mountain so he could point out some of the landscape. C.O. put his Dad to work helping dig out our snow machine and fuel hauler after the storm.

The following Monday, the weather was clear and cold so our visitors had no problem getting back to Nome. We hope they made many good memories of their trip to the far north and that they'll come again. Maybe they'd like to see a little warmer weather next time. --AnnMarie
