Festival

We went down to Hachinohe for a festival. They show dances that represent how they use to plant and harvest rice. This festival is to ask to bless the crops for good harvest. The guys with the big hats represent horses. That is a big thing here. In all the pictures there was snow for the posters. We were glad that it wasn't any colder. We were freezing but had lots of fun. It was cute to see the Japanese kids with their hats.

The Climbing Wall

This was the girls favorite thing to do while and Andrew and I worked out. Annalee didn't want her picture taken. The community center was awesome. They had machines and weights. a playarea for kids, Virtual golf you rent for ten dollars and hour, arcade games, just to name a few. Every base should have something like that. I actually lost weight over Christmas!

Cristmas Morning

We enjoyed our Christmas. It was nice to be able to relax and not have to be anywhere. The girls loved their legs warmes. They are always complaing their legs are cold. I think Annalee thought they were a hat or something that goes on your head.

Art musem

We went to the Anchorage Art museum. They had antique toys and on display. The girls had fun in the children section where you could play on the train planes and cars.

Ginger bread house

One of the things we did on our vacation in Alaska was make a ginger bread house. Annalee kept licking her fingers everytime she put on a candy. The girls had lots

of fun with dad.
