Yes, I know I skipped a couple of days because all the pictures are on my dad's camera and it is a very high tech camera. So, you will all just have to wait breathlessly while I develop enough smarts to figure it out.
We went to Denali national park this week, it was super awesome. It is very beautiful, very large and very remote. Denali is for two types of people of people. 1.) High end travelers who enjoy traveling in large tourist buses, mainly Princess, with gaggles of senior citizens. 2.) Crazy backpackers who are looking to explore the wild backcountry, with gaggles of snow shoe hares. (Haley and Jesse...this is probably where you will go when you die.) We saw very few people like us. In fact, our baby was the only small child, aside from Thomas, that I saw the entire trip. 
My mom reserved some cabins for the trip, which was very nice, because it was pretty cold and even snowed, hailed and rained while we were there. (My mother, always a southern californian at heart, brought sunscreen and straw hats for everybody). My parents cabin got upgraded, so that left Truston and I in an 'original' cabin down the hill. That's right, it was originally built in 1911. It was a tiny 11 by 11 foot cabin with one tiny window and a tiny door. We loved it for camping purposes, but I don't know how you could live there...especially during 9 month winters. It brings new meaning to the phrase, "Cabin Fever".
Here is a picture of our cabins.
Much more exciting posts coming soon...as soon as i figure out how to download my dad's pictures. :)

Awww, I hope I make it back up to Alaska before I die!
Did you remember all those Princess tour buses? I used to drive one of those very same kind!
