Searching for the Lights



We went out searching for the Aurora. We passed the time by trying to blow bubbles, which by the way work even in the negative degree weather. and then spent the time curled up in the back of the Jeep watching a movie. But, alas, we never did see those lights. Thinking they are just an urban myth. LOL

Ice advertisements


Love the fact that Fairbanks uses their assests, in this case the ice, to their advantage!! This is an ice advertisement in Fairbanks.






In February we got introduced to some extreme Alaska weather. In a little over 24 hours we received over 18 inches. The snow was blowing at 60mph. The storm itself was amazing and beautiful and powerful. But cleaning up after it was a pain in the back!!









We decided to go for a drive and explore the region south of us. It was a beautiful day. Our drive looked like it had been washed white. The picture on the top let is our view of the Denali mountains. Could wander around the countryside and take pictures!



Christmas Activities










Well Merry VERY Late Christmas!! We had a great Christmas. We first went out to the North Pole, the real North Pole, and met a man that I know is the actual Santa Claus! Then we did our usual of Present opening and went out to try out the local sledding hill! We all had a lot of fun. There were crashes and speeding. Even Daddy got in on the action.
