A Friend in Town

My friend Sara is up visiting from Washington. We have had tons of fun. Here are some of the very fun things we have done!

On our way to and From Chena Hot Springs we saw 5 moose. While at Chena Hot Springs, we saw many, many ducks, 2 geese and birds. We have seen 1 rabbit and domestice reindeer at Santa's house.


Sara's gold pan, FINISHED!! She got a little more gold than me, so I showed her finished pan. this was extremely fun and I recommend it to anyone who is coming up here.




My gold pan not almost finished.


Sara's gold pan, almost finished.

My famous cupcake making was one of the activities we did. We made Panda Bears. It was very fun.

It's so nice to have someone with us that takes pictures. Now we have pictures of us when we least expect it. This is me and James walking around Pioneer Park (the area tat has the -40 room.)

This is proof that I have been in negative 40! I was kind of frustrated that I had to pay for this experience because I can experience it for free in the winter more than I want. However, I did it for Sara. (Notice how her hood is on and her coat is all the way zipped up and mine is not. LOL)




This is the McKinley Mac from McDonalds in North Pole. I love this meal. It is very similar to the Big Mac except it has bigger hamburger patties.




This is me in a lovely swimming suit. I just got out of the Hot Spring at Chena Hot Springs. It was my first time in the hot springs. It was wonderful. The hot springs are open year round and people go in them when it is negative 40 and so forth.







Sara and I on my four wheeler. We went four wheeling and it was one of Sara's favorite activities.








Sara in outhouse in ice museum. This is a mess to clean up and shouldn't be used. It is just for looks. There are rooms in the ice museum that can be rented out. They are very expensive and very cool! This outhouse is in one of the rooms.



Tomatoes at Chena Hot Springs' greenhouse. These tomato plants are unique because they are never cut or trimmed and they grow year round.


Goats at Chena Hot Springs. There are two goats. We fed them and they are very cute.
