Easter Alaska Style

 

 

 

 


So instead of dying eggs (which we still have not done! I'm such a slacker!) we went to the Holt's house. A family in our ward that has 35 huskies at their home. They have participated in the Iditarod 3 times so they are the real deal. We had expected a little 10 minuute ride so the kids could go dog mushing. We got there and we got to watch them hook the dogs up and they took Avery and I on a 8 mile ride then Abby and Brent went on the same 8 mile loop. It was definately above and beyond our expectations! I am amazed at the work and dedication that goes into the sport. It really is a life style. By the time we left we had been there for 3 hours and the girls had the time of their life! Here is a shout out to the Holts! Thank you for such an AWESOME experience!!

March and the Ice Park

So, I'm just a little behind. I was telling someone about the ice park and they wanted to see some pictures. Anyone who knows me well knows that I LOVE the ice park. We get a season pass every March and go all the time. It is the World Champion Ice sculpting. It never ceases to amaze me what people can carve out of a block of ice! They have huge slides and a kids park, an ice maze, tunnells, it really is quite amazing. We always end up staying for hours. Part of the fun is that it is March when the sun starts actually shining and it warms up above 0 here in Fairbanks... we can finally enjoy our snow. We will definately be missing the ice park next March!

Ice Tunnell

 

 

 

 


These were some of my favorites of my girls climbing through the ice tunnell with their friend Ethan.

So these were some of my favorite sculptures. I stood next to King Kong to give people an idea of just how big and truly amazing these are!
