Its cold!

Its cold here.  We shouldn't be surprised, since this is Alaska, but -22 degrees is pretty cold, even for here.  There is lots of snow on the ground (about 50 inches in January), but its too cold to ski or sled.  The sun has been out, and the days are getting longer, so we have that going for us, which is nice.

We are trying to keep ourselves entertained, but cabin fever has set in.  Luckily, Maia has figured out how to slide down her slide, so once she gets going, that entertains her for about 20 minutes at a time.  We've also made a trip to the indoor water park.  They have special toddler time 3 days a week.  Maia loved it, by the end she was brave enough to walk around in the water by herself (its about a foot deep).  She fell a couple of times, but the water in her face didn't bother her at all.  I hope to head over to the water park once a week or so.  Hopefully we'll see temps above the single digits soon!
