At UAF museum

LAst Saturday we went to The University of Alaska at Fairbanks Museum! It was a very fun experience specially because it was -15 outside, so it was nice to entertain ourself with some indoor activity.
The very 1st thing Danielle noticed was this huge totem pole which is right outside the museum. She was fascinated by it and she wanted a picture of her with it , so her daddy took her outside and did as she aske, while a very unhappy Sophia ( because she wanted to go too) and I waited in the car.
Sophia was fascinated by this huge black bear which is standing tall right by the entrance. Initially she was afraid of it ,but then she kept on going back to see it and she will say "puppy". Unfortunately our camera acted up and half of the pictures we took were completely dark , but Charles fixed it and here are some of the good ones.

Danielle and her to tem pole . It amaze me the words that she know . I did not realize she know what a totem pole is.
Here is another picture
This is a smal totem ole inside the museum and she wanted a picture of it.
Sophia was mesmerized by this artic fox. She wanted to touch it so she tried to "remove" the glass.

This is a huge whale's skull.

Playing in the Snow!

Charles decided he wanted to build a snow man in our backyard! but the snow is like dust up here because of the lack of humitity in the air, so he decided to water the snow, but it still a project in progress
Saturday afternoon we headed to Birch Hill ( The ski place) to get some pictures taken on a real dog sled. While we waited for our turn our friend took some pictures of us here is one!
After the pciturs Charles and Danielle played on the sled. Originally, Sophia did not want to , but when she saw Danielle having so much fun she joined them
