Father's Day and Summer Solstice

In Fairbanks they have events all weekend for Summer Solstice. This is the longest day of the year and it is light all day long. The actual day is June 21st. The events start at Midnight on Saturday and go all through Sunday. They do a midnight sun run (10k) where they wear costumes, a semi-pro baseball game without lights (because they can), or a round of golf. I really wanted to do the midnight sun run but didn't prepare for it. The whole community lines the streets, cheer the runners on, and even squirt water in them. Sunday we went downtown and saw all of the booths that were set up.


Madi and Bryn got to sit in a fire truck. They thought that was pretty cool.



Madi followed this pony around for a while and loved it!



We crossed the bridge.


And sat along the Chena River.






Happy Father's Day to my wonderful husband. I couldn't ask for a better father for my children. Our girls love their Daddy!
