So I am back at blogging! Our time here in Alaska has been so awesome so I've made it a point to document all the fun stuff we do!
We have some awesome neighbors who throw family friend parties all the time. Their New Year's party was a blast. The weather was warm (for interior Alaska). It was perfect for ice skating on the pond, sledding on the hill and shooting off fireworks. most the kids up here have grown up in the ice and are pros when it comes to skating. This was Lance and Lexie's first time. Lance thought he was going to put on the skates and take off like the big boys. He would go so fast and wreck big time! Each time he got up and would go again. He finally learned that if he slowed down he would have better control.
Lexie had a rough start. She fell tons and was so frustrated. She was to ice skate so bad. We took a break for a little bit and when she started again the second time was much better. By the end of the night she was doing great!
They both can't wait to go again!
At 9pm they brought out all the fireworks. Our neighbors have a couple giant pallets of fireworks shipped up from the lower 48. When we left at 10 the fireworks was still going on in full force.
Our neighbors love to entertain. They have a garage full of all sizes of ice skates so everyone can skate.
