This is what -12 looks like





Ever since we got back from Seattle it's been in the negatives here.  It's weird because your nostrils freeze over and your eyelashes get icicles on them.  The other day we went to the dog park.  We managed to stay pretty warm because we wore many layers and we brought hand and footwarmers.  We also had these hats that cover your face.  THe only problem with them is that they aren't made for four-eyes.  We got a layer of ice over our glasses that wouldn't go away.  So we had to walk around without glasses.  Neil lost Banjo's new ball when he threw it into a big snow berm.  We dug around for a long time, but we couldn't find it.  Maybe it will have to be a summer toy.

Yesterday Alaska celebrated its first 50 years of statehood.  They had activities downtown, including the largest fireworks celebration ever.  It would have been fun to go to, but it just seemed too cold.  We could see the very tops of the fireworks from our house.
