Fur Rondy and tsunami warning

So this year was the 75th Fur Rondy celebration. It is a holiday celebrating when the fur trappers come down from the bush and sell off their furs and part!! So how do you celebrate...you have outhouse races, running with the caribou, a carnival, sled dog rides, snow and ice sculptures, helicopter rides, funnel cakes yumo!, and fireworks.

The snow and ice sculptures were incredible. I will try to post some pictures soon.
I LOVE fireworks -the sight and sounds so cool! Saturday night thanks to At&T we had quite the show over Cook Inlet. July 4th here is not the same with it being so light outside so this was great because it was dark! It was a spectacular show!

Because of the earthquake in Chile we were under a Tsunami warning here in Alaska. Crazy! So volcanoes, earthquakes, and now a tsunami warning. This is definitley and adventurous state and such an amazingly beautiful one!!!!!!!
