Midnight Sun Celebration

Hi y'all! Over the past weekend, we have been real busy celebrating the longest day of the year! Every year, Fairbanks hosts of the biggest races in Alaska called the"Midnight Sun Run" which is a 10k run through town. It started at 10pm, and we probably got home around 12:30am. It was still light outside! It was so much fun because everybody just goes to have fun. Some people even dress up in costumes to run! We ran through lots of neighborhoods, and everybody was grilling out and having a good 'ol time. On Sunday, the Midnight Sun Festival lasted from 12pm to 12am to celebrate the longest day. It kind of reminded me of Reunion Week in Newton! :) We have now begun to lose a few seconds of daylight every day.
Tai and I had a good time celebrating our first anniversary. We went to the golf course, hit a bucket of balls and then went to eat at a restaurant called the Silver Gulch. We hope y'all are having a wonderful week!
