Here we are up in the North Pole!

Here is our vacation to Alaska!!! We came to the North Pole to spend time with Kendall, Chuck and their families. All these babies are like little eskimos that have adapted to being indoor hot house plants because its too cold to go outside.

Here we are bundled up in 13 degree weather at the annual Iditarod... (dogsled races). I love the cold weather, it feels so invigorating! But more than anything we enjoy being with all the kids.


At the ice sculptures Mason and I spun around in an ice dish and got so dizzy that we fell over.
We went to Fairbanks and had fun at the North Pole. We saw Santa Claus's house and some real live reideer. Notice the striped lightpost in the background that looks like candy canes along Santa Claus lane.




Mr. B is wearing a hat... imagine that! It must be REALLY cold! The ice sculptures are magnificant and very detailed and artistic. Mr B is doing well and his cancer count is way down and we think there is a ram in the thicket. Check out the story of Abraham to understand... "ram in thicket" Love to All!!!

Great post, La! It s about time. Please keep it coming. So glad you are having a good time. I hate the cold, so I am glad it's YOU and not ME! We are having perfect weather here. Cool at night, beautiful days in the high 70's low 80's. Couldn't be more perfect. We planted and orange tree and a lemon tree. Also some tomatoes and squash plants. We also planted beans, and they are actually coming up! Do they even have a growing season in Alaska?
