Fairbanks

We flew to Fairbanks last weekend for the Ice Sculpture Championship. It was really neat to see the very intricate sculptures. Our favorite part was the kid's playground....made out of ice! There were ice slides, an ice maze, ice tea cups, an even an ice skating rink...the walls of the skating rink were made of ice! So fun! The down side, it was -8...brrrr.. We were going to go back at night to see all of the sculptures lit up, but by then it was -20, and we chickened out =)

 Warming up with some hot cocoa

 We drove to the North Pole, AK ...where the spirit of Christmas lives year round...HO...HO...HO...Brian thought the men in the town must like not having to take down the Christmas lights every year. It was kind of a cute town...and kind of a random town at the same time.

 "The moose, the moose, the moose are on the loose" This is chanted every time the kids see a moose! These guys were wandering through town.

 Most of our time in Fairbanks was spent in the pool at the hotel. It was warm in there!

 This is how I like to fly with my kids...them sleeping! Ok, this was only a 40 minute flight too!
