Fairbanks - Day Three (friday)


What a great Tate-kind-of-day!! We awoke to another breakfast waiting for us and leisurely got ready for the day. We went to Pioneer Park (formerly AlaskaLand - not kidding) where if it had been summer then lots of stuff to do like train rides, food courts, river boats to explore... but it was off-season so there was just the playground. That was ALL Tate needed!! 

He swung, slide, climbed, ran, bounced, and had himself one great time. After all the playing, he announced, "I'm hungry. Let's go get some lunchy!" So off we went to "downtown"  Fairbanks. I feel funny calling it downtown but that is what it is!! There are some blocks, with some buildings, some shops and some restaurants... oh and a few drunk people swervily meandering the streets... so I guess it's a real downtown after all! 
Then after his nap, Tate went outside for fun on the tire swing and some driveway baseball. And then a kid came over!!! Owen arrived with his parents for Adrian's birthday party and Tate found his new Alaskan best friend. 

We had a great time, ate great food and great cake - and heard all about the bear and moose sausage that Mark and Shannon were making the next day. Yup... bear and moose!! Just in case you forgot we were in Alaska.
