Cayley could hardly stand still as she anxiously awaited her "Florida" Cousins (well at least 2 of them) to come down the hall, Rylie not so anxious was asleep on my shoulder totally oblivious of what was going on. Zack and Michaela appeared from the long hallway nicely sunkissed, even the smelly guy in the elevator pointed out they must of come from Florida!
They both informed me they hadn't slept a wink and were not tired AT ALL!
When we left the terminal to go to the van parked on the top of the parking garage, first remarks from Zack were "it's cold" (it was an Alaskan warm 68F) then he saw the enormous mountains in the horizon and mentioned he felt like he was going on a journey to the center of the earth. Michaela in the meantime was caught up chatting with Cayley and aknowledging how big Rylie was.
It was cloudy when we left Anchorage and for half the drive home. Zack kept mentioning how bad he wanted to get on top of one of the mountains to play in the snow. His wish was granted, while driving through Denali we found some remnants of snow! I can't even imagine what he would think about the several feet of it we have in the winter!
As we approached Fairbanks, it was about 11:30 pm and it was as bright as noon day, the energy amongst those in the car elevated, I know it's an over-used phrase, but I must..."if only I had their energy!!"
