Kuskokwim RIver

Here are pictures of our Kuskokwim River from the Aniak's shores. Aniak is the turnaround for the Kuskokwim-300 premier mid-distance dog sled race. (it's 150 miles via frozen river from Bethel to Aniak. They go from Bethel to Aniak and Back) I saw the turnaround spot! It was actually the parking lot of the bingo hall!

Houndhouse Restaurant- Aniak, Alaska

These pictures are of the Houndhouse Restaurant. This woman makes each pizza dough individually in her countertop mixer. Needless to say, the pizza was AMAZING and I carried one home on the plane home to my family!

Tassa kuvia Houndhouse Ravintolasta. Ainut ravintola Aniakissa. Omistaja tekee joka ikinen pizz taikinan ite mikserissa. Pizza oli taivaalista! Vein yhden kotiin koneessa!!

HOME!! KOTONA!!

We made it home safe and sound. And the trip went very well. I was exhausted but no major melt downs or temper tantrums.
Elias rode the snowmachine for the first time today! And he wasn't even scared. He is surely his Daddy's son!

Paastiin kotiin turvallisesti. Ja matka meni hyvin. Minua vasytti ihan tajuttomasti mutta lapset olivat ihan kiltisti..
Elias oli moottorikelkan kyydissa tanaan ensimmaista kertaa! Ja ei pelannyt ollenkaan! Han on hanen iskan poika!

Last day in FL... Viimeinen paiva Floridassa..
