Chena Hot Springs


This is Mom, Anna, Justin, and Abby in the pool inside at the Hot springs










Me trying to dunk Justin and he is hanging on for dear Life


After dunking Joseph












Here is Dad this is the one place that he really wanted to go to




We went into the little restaurant that is at Chena hot springs which for those of you that do not know is a TOTAL tourist trap and VERY expensive but we wanted to eat and Abby fell asleep after swimming and stayed asleep in Nana's arms




This is inside the actual Ice Hotel that is open year round and is ENTIRE Ice. My parents had to go and get a 15 dollar martini and drink out of the ice glasses. So afterwards Dad brought the glass outside to us and the kids and Mom told Justin he could drink out of it. These glasses are made of Beaver pond water, anyone form Alaska knows that means Beaver Fever (Giarrdia) so after a lesson in the defecation of beavers we threw them away

This is an igloo inside the ice castle


on the way back from Chena Hot Springs we stopped by our friends house her name is Jen and she owns a Yak farm the following pictures are of the farm, we got a full tour and she answered all of our questions!!!







Here is the farm and you can see Joe's hand petting a yak








That is Jen holding her Yak be good stick


Joe thinking he is the Yak whisperer







I love this picture of Justin I think that it is just a great picture
