Labor Day Weekend 2009

For Labor Day weekend this year we decided to make a trip to Nelchina to visit Kyle's grandparents. Kyle ended up having to work on Saturday and Sunday so we didn't get to head out until Sunday evening. Before leaving town, Kyle received a phone call from his friend Jeremiah stating he had gotten his truck stuck offroad up north. Kyle left his grandparent's house first thing Monday morning to help him out. Aubrey and i hung out in Nelchina so her great-grandparents could spend some time with her.

Following are some pictures i took of the trip out. Kyle drove his big truck and Aubrey and i took the Toyota.



Grandpa Virgin loved Hailey...and Hailey loved Grandpa Virgin!!


Aubrey kept herself entertained by rolling around on the floor.


Aubrey loves laying on her side. She looks like she's posing!! A friend told me the bottom picture look like an ad for Baby Gap. Haha.


Here are some more photos of Aubs. She sure is a little ham!!




Here's Kyle's big truck. For those of you who don't know the story behind it, this is the truck Kyle and i rolled the day we officially became a couple back in 2006. The insurance company totalled it out and Kyle bought it back and turned into the beast it is today.

This is Aubrey watching some Veggie Tales with her Great-Grandma Virgin, or GG as she likes to be called.

When Kyle returned from helping Jeremiah he decided to take me for my first mudding trip in his truck. To my surprise, i really enjoyed it and the scenery was absolutely amazing!!

These pictures show you just how big the truck is. Keep in mind Kyle is close to 6'3" tall. I am only 5'2", but this truck makes me look really tiny!!

Some more of beautiful Alaska...

Aubrey's GG watched her while we were gone. We returned to find her fast asleep on the couch.

GG decided to pull out a dancing, singing Santa doll she had to see how Aubrey would react. I'm not sure Aubrey knew just what to think!!

This is Aubrey with her Great-Grandma and Grandpa Virgin, Joe and Peg. Or better known as GG and GGP.

Some pictures of the scenery on the way back into Anchorage.

On the way home we stopped in Palmer to visit Kyle's mom and dad, Beth and Dan. Aubrey loves visiting her Grandma and Grandpa Virgin because they always feed her all kinds of goodies. On this trip she scored a couple spoon fulls of whip cream!!
