Another little piggy!!!

Avery Rose had swine flu Labor Day weekend and now two months later, Aedan has it. Aedan is on day 4 and has lost 7 pounds. Avery Rose lost 9 pounds in 5 days. Big bummer because those two have little weight to spare.

He just got out of the steamer because he was having a little trouble breathing. I am taking him to see our pediatrician to see if he has bronchitis later this afternoon.

To add insult to injury, Bob is out of town until about 9 o'clock tonight THEN he heads to Vegas tomorrow at noon until Saturday. I am praying that none of the other kids get sick or myself!

We get on the ship tomorrow!!

Yes, we get on the ship tomorrow and I could not be happier. We have done a lot and had a blast on our land tour. The highlights were the helicopter ride and the ATV tour. The scenery is beautiful!!
Everyone says that Denali a.k.a. Mt. McKinley is only visible an average of 18 days of summer but yet we saw it three days in a row.
The hotels we have stayed at so far have all been Princess lodges and the food has been yummy!
Yesterday on the train we saw a couple of moose.
The weather so far has been warm but now that we are heading to the coast it has gotten a lot cooler and cloudy.
Today we get to be on a bus for about 5 hours so that means nap time!!

Continued

As we finally started seeing our gold in our pan a lady came over to help each of us. She kept pointing to me saying "I think she is the winner".
Inside they weighed our treasure and told us the value. Tim's was worth 6 dollars, Hannah -7.50, Bob, Christina, and Aedan-9, Avery Rose-10, and mine (drum roll please!!) was valued at $18.
It was a very fun day that was capped off by a great dinner on a river.

Riverboat and Goldmine

We had a blast yesterday! First we took a ride on a riverboat and learned a lot about the locals and their culture. Very interesting.
Our next stop was the goldmine. We got to pan for gold. At the end they were going to weigh it so it was a competition from the begining.
