Passing Through

Last Thursday Jen, Jack, Luke Grace, Uncle Charlie, Aunt Jeannie, Jeannie's sister Elaine and her husband Steve had a long layover in Seattle on their flight up to Sitka.  We picked them up at the airport had dinner and went to the beach.  Ryan had been waiting for this day for quite awhile.  He kept saying things like, "I really miss Jack and Luke" at random for months.  He was so happy to them.  All the kids were thrilled to see each other, and had so much fun together.  It was so sad it had to be such a short time.  But we were very thankful we got to see them at all.

The kids had fun watching a game of shuffleboard at the restaurant.  The two "kids" playing were so good to let them watch and play along.

All the kids were so happy to get to the beach and run!  They found salmon berries, threw rocks, teeter-tottered on the logs and giggled like crazy.  They had so much fun together!  It really was so great to see everyone.
