The great white north!

Here you see the kids standing in the middle of a frozen lake that they actually groom and "Zambonie" for the skaters and hockey players. Next to the lake/rink is burn barrels and fire wood to warm up and a coastal trail that runs right next to the ocean for cross country skiers, walkers, joggers and bikers! Also, the kids tucked away in a tunnel under the castle slide.

Ice Castle Slide!

This Castle is completely built out of ice blocks! The slide is right by the skating rink in the town square. Each block is put in place by a team that builds this beautiful castle. It has volunteers all weekend to help the kids (and adults!) play. Josh kept going and going and going!




Funny Chad

This is an cute video of my funny Chad. However it takes a little while to download...fyi. Here are the boys "skating" in the town square!

March 2nd Snow Sculptures

On the last day of Fur Rondy, we took the kids to go see the amazing snow sculptures. There you would see anything from huge snow bunnies, sharks, mermaids, large letters, rockets all the way to the "round table" with Obama, Hillary, Huck and Mac. How creative

2008 Alaska Iditarod

Another exciting day in Anchorage. The finale of the "Fur Rendevous" is the Alaska Iditarod. Here we are at Grandma Patti's favorite viewing spot. (good to know a local!) Here you'll see two of the almost 100 teams coming through! They start from downtown Anchorage every two minutes. The second team you see in this video is mushed by a woman. Patti, Coop, Chad, Brittney, Joey and Josh are over on the middle left of your screen.
