Posted • Thank you Valdez Fly-In & Air Show ‼️
My son was one of the winners of the Paper Airplane Competition. This was his first helicopter flight and he loved it. They saw a black bear near town and a brown bear on the Glacier.
Hope to see this event again next year.
And thank you “Manhattan 1” aka “Skip”🤣 for your flying.

We are proud to showcase our newest piece of art! This is “Ruby” by Anya Toelle.

Ruby is special because she was one of the original reindeer at Running Reindeer Ranch. And we have a special connection with Anya and her family that own the ranch.

You can find her work on www.anyatoelle.com
Or on instagram at Art by Anya Toelle
If you’re in Fairbanks, stop by lichen. to meet her and check out some of her other beautiful pieces.

Spring is just around the corner in Alaska!

Can you believe that face?

Doesn't he just make you want to wrinkle up your brow in defense? This guy has so much character. Not sure why he's looking grumpy today because look at his hair, it's so fresh and Spring green! And the sun is shining bright. Always an up side to things.

This beautiful creation is the work of local artist, author and sculptor, Cora Witt. She makes some incredibly unique pieces that separate her work from everyone else.

We rented kicksleds from Borealis Sparks & Kicksled Rentals.
We folded them up then drove and and parked at Morris Thompson Cultural and Visitors Center.
We crossed over the frozen river for a quick visit with FOCUS Homeschool.
Then back across the river, through Griffin Park and along the river walk. We even found a Fairbanks North Star Borough Parks & Rec Winter Trails Challenge Sign.
At Cowles we turned around and headed to The Crepery for a small bite.
Then it was back on the kicksleds to MTCVC.
It was a great 2 hour rental.

Fairbanks tied the record for warmest day. Remember last week when our temps were -40 F!

Yesterday, here in Fairbanks, we tied the record for the warmest temperature in recorded history for February 13th. Around 10pm last night, the temperature was recorded at 41 degrees F, tying the record set in 1942!

Today we joined The 40 Below Club!

-40C = -40F

And while this may not look very cozy...it was truly a hyggelig moment for us as a family.

Followed up with hot drinks in our warm car made for quite a memorable event--even if we were only outside for a minute.

Our latest visitor: Mr Lynx

Huge shout out to Northern Whimsy Art Studio!

This Chickadee Mosaic was crafted from a kit by our 12 year old.

He provides a super cute artsy natured-inspired welcome to our our guests.

Additionally, we have mosaic gnomes and trees that adorn our own Christmas tree that we’ve made from the kits. They make a great memory generating souvenir or a gift!

You should really get one. Or 3 😉

If you already have made one, what did you make? Let’s see your creation!
