The river was up quite a bit from when we with my mom and dad so the float trip went by pretty fast. 
There was a couple spots with some bigger rapids. Chip, Sue & Tim were at the front of the raft so they got pretty wet going through one set of rapids. The kids loved the rapids and would yell "wwwweeeeeeee!!" When we went through them. 
We saw several eagles on our float trip. It really was amazing!! God's handy work is really magnified here in Alaska. I keep catching myself saying, "It's so beautiful!"
Sue said, "Everywhere I look looks like a postcard!"
Andrew had to return to work on Thursday. Everyone else spent the day sleeping in and hanging out. We did get out for a bit to go on a hike to Thunderbird Falls near the house. Everyone loved the hike. 
That evening we ate a yummy dinner then went for ice cream at Avalanche Frozen yogurt. There was one last place we wanted to show Chip & Sue. We drove up skyline to top so they could look out of the Eagle River. The view is breath taking!!!
The kids were asleep by 8 so we were all able to relax and spend some time together before I had to take them to the airport.
We had an amazing time and can't wait for them to come back!! The kids absolutely loved spending time with their grandparents. We hated to see them leave but are already planning stuff for next time. There is so much to do here and we only visited a small fraction of Alaska.
