Katie Knott in Alaska!

Katie Knott went to Alaska (July 3-18) to visit Julie Olson and Mike Blair. While Katie was at Julie's, Matt Knott (her brother) texted her that he was flying into Kenai, Alaska to help with a fire there. They were all able to see Matt the next morning as Julie and Mike and were dropping Katie in Kenai to pick up a car for the rest of her trip.
