Father's Day BBQ

We arrived in Anchorage on Saturday, June 14th. The next day, Sunday, was Father's Day. Joy organized a great BBQ to celebrate the Dads in our lives....and we thought it was a wonderful opportunity to see and visit with many of our friends whom we've been missing. Thanks Joy!


Tina, our favorite German lady, brought bratwursts to share....YUMMY! Left to right, behind Tina who is holding the brat, is Gwen (Joy's Mom-in-Law), me, Lara, and Joy.


One of these ladies said this picture should be captioned "Who does this remind you of?" Can you guess who? You might be surprised at the answer.... :)


And who's that girl wearing the skimpy top????? What nerve!


Jillian wearing Jeremy's shoes and taking a walk with Uncle Tim.


Bob and Tina used to be one of our neighbors in Anchorage. We just love them....even though they always made us look bad because they have the prettiest yard on the block. Their oldest daughter is pregnant with their first grand-baby and they are just thrilled to pieces. Jillian really bonded with Tina this trip and gave her lots of practice playing with a little one! Thanks Tina for all the fun!

Josh, Audrey and Luke saving the world....playing video games. ;)

Clean-up crew...Gwen, Joy, Tina.

Here we are with the Vanhoozer family. Andy and Jeremy used to work together. They are so fun! Andy and Lara have a 2 year old little girl...Allison. This was the first time that Allison and Jillian were able to really play together....and they had a ball!



At the little girl table. :)

Yummy, dessert! The girls pigged out on chocolate pretzels, chocolate chip cookies, ice cream and pie. With that menu, can you believe there was a time when Jillian wasn't allowed to have any sugar at all??????

Hula Chicks. :)

I wonder if Tina had any idea that she was holding the hot dog right in front of my face? I know I didn't realize it! ;)

This was our best Father's Day yet! It was so great having you all here with us! It really felt like a party!

I love the Hula girls picture on the girls on the stairs :) I really LOVE the girls in front of the chocolate covered pretzels--they both have killer smiles! :)
