The plural noun "friends" correctly uses an apostrophe before the "s" to indicate possession. The singular noun "aunt" also correctly uses an apostrophe before the "s" to indicate possession. The possessive form of "aunt" requires an apostrophe before the "s," while the plural form of "friends" does not require an apostrophe at all. Therefore, the correct sentence is "During the summer of 09, my friends spent a week at my aunt's house in Alaska."
