Me! That's Who! Anchorage had the big 50th birthday celebration last night. The road downtown was closed off and the park had ice sculptures. There was free music -- 25 different types of bands and performers at 2 different indoor venues. We saw a bluegrass group all from Alaska--Barefoot is their name--they just recorded a CD due out in May. The group formed in high school and are in their 20's now--very good! The cutest thing--the gals in the group all wore dresses--flowey (sp) type--with their Sorrel boots--they called it the Alaska cocktail outfit--lol!
The place was mobbed--then everyone went outside to watch the fireworks--the biggest Alaska has ever seen! Okay--they were awesome--even in the subzero temperatures!! They shot them off 3 different buildings simultaneously--I was impressed (like Alaska really cares what I think!).
By the way, the event was sponsored by Blue Cross--they passed out hand warmers to the crowd--LOL! My fingers just now thawed-out....hey...where are my toes!!!!!!
I'm spending today psyching myself up to deal with 7th graders.................
