2012 Spring Break Trip to Anchorage

Miranda, Jenna, Preston, Presley and I traveled to Anchorage on 3/9/12.  Preston and Presley were lap passengers on Jenna and I.  Each leg of our flight was waiting on us at the prespective airports when we got there and there were no delays.  We arrived in Anchorage 40 minutes early, never the less it
was 2:30 a.m. for us Texans.  Snow is stacked up 12' high in some places.  The snow has layers of ice underneath that keep it from completely melting.  Anchorage has had record highs as well as record snow this year. 
Introductions to Ricus, Major and Sam began. 

Saturday we went to Southcentral Foundation Festival.  Sarah's co-worker Amanda joined her.  We had some traditional fry bread and other snacks.  There was an abundance of strong Alaskan coffee and sat with drunk people at the festival.  Sarah found the artist that painted a picture that I bought for Lucas in the summer and bought another one from him.  I bought the raven, Lucas' favorite and Sarah bought the eagle, the raven's soul mate. 
Several tribes danced their traditional tribal dances. 
Later that evening Sarah's friend Amanda and Ava joined us for some Moose's Tooth pizza.  Sarah and Jenna went to go get pizza and saw a moose on their way back.
The Iditerod, The Last Great Race on Earth is progress.

Sunday dog sleding and church.
