When you've got Alaskan blood running through your veins it's not enough to simply build an igloo,
you've got to sleep in it too.
So on January 24th, when the weather had warmed up to the low 20's, Taber and the girls bundled up for a night in their snowy fortress.
It's not every night you get to put on snow pants to go to bed!
Taber made sure the girls were as bundled up as they could be.
Despite the whipping winds outside they were snug as a bug in the igloo.
They FaceTimed me to say goodnight and assured me they were plenty warm.
The night went pretty well as far as winter camping goes. Taber didn't sleep much because he kept checking on the girls to make sure they were warm and still breathing…At one point Teya had to go to the bathroom but no one wanted to leave the igloo so she peed in a plastic bag which turned into a yellow slushy by morning. (sorry no pictures… ;) It was pretty adventurous.
The next day they woke up bright and smiley!
Daddy made them oatmeal and hot chocolate and they ate their breakfast in bed.
All in all it was a huge success! These girls made their Alaskan papa proud.
