Stuck in Alaska

So Daniel came home from Alaska yesterday. I went and picked him up from the airport, his flight got in at about 4 pm. He went with his dad, brothers, uncles and cousins to golf and visit family. Sounds like he had a blast and it is a very beautiful place (sorry, I don't have pics to post because Daniel forgot to pack the camera??!!!?).

Daniel decided the day before they left that he was going to try to get an earlier flight back because he had been away for soooo many days. (He went to Delaware for a friends wedding on July 29, got home from that on Aug. 4 then left for Alaska on Aug. 7 and got home on Aug. 10) If he didn't take the earlier flight home, he would have got back to Utah on Aug. 11 way early in the morning.

I just have to tell everyone how ECSTATIC I am that he did take the early flight. Last night at about 9 pm he got a phone call from his brother Joel who told him that the flight had been canceled because a VOLCANO ERUPTED! Can you believe that? They won't be back until Thursday (at the latest). So that would mean that if Daniel DIDN'T take the early flight back, he would be STUCK IN ALASKA! Can you imagine how big of a MESS I would be if Daniel didn't come home?!!? That is a SCARY thought (especially if you know me!)
