Fairbanks trip

This week we drove up to Fairbanks to find a house to rent. We loved spending time with daddy. We had really missed hime since He had been gone the 5th-29th for work. 
The drive up was beautiful! We stopped a few times to stretch our legs and see the sites.
Lance & Lexie loved picking flowers. These purple flowers are called fireweed. They will soon turn red and then seed out. Allot of people say that is the sign for the end of summer. 
Denali is along the way so we made sure to stop since last time we went through it was closed for the winter. We took a nice long hike then had a picnic.

We spent a few days looking at different houses. One thing we was concerned about was having a super high heating bill. We found the perfect house by a park that is 5 star energy efficient and includes all utilities except electric in the rent price.
I am not sure what it was about our hotel, but every time we went into our room the kids would go nuts. I think they were just super excited to spend time with daddy. Here they are having a pillow fight,
Andrew and Lance tried their luck at fishing in between looking at houses. They didn't catch any, but had a great time anyway.
On Wednesday we got to all go visit the new shop that Andrew will be working out of. They were having a grand opening and had invited EVERYONE to come check out the new place. They served lunch and gave the kids toy caterpillars and hats to everyone. 
I got to meet allot of the guys Andrew will be working with and his new bosses. 
Wednesday was also my 26th birthday so we went to dinner at Tubby's bbq and Alaskan Grill. Tubby's had some amazing BBQ!! 
We had a great trip to Fairbanks. Finding a place to live was a huge load off both our minds. The best part was just being with my husband! God continues to bless us and provide for us.
