Fairbanks, Alaska

Nathan was supposed to go to southern California so it was a big surprise when they changed their minds and decided to send him to Alaska!  Even though he was freezing up there I think it was fun for him to go back to where he grew up (North Pole, Alaska).  He wasn't allowed to get out of his car because of strict COVID rules so he was a little bummed about that.

I should have him write this post because I'll probably mess things up...


I think this is where he worked??? He stocked shelves at the grocery store.

All the light posts in North Pole are decorated like candy canes.

The high school Nathan went to.

Middle school

Church building

Elementary school???

I believe Nathan was in elementary school when kids at his school would write back to kids that would send letters to Santa.

Santa

Nathan's house was about a mile from Santa's house.

Santa's house!





Where Santa's reindeer live.

One of the houses Nathan lived in???

The other house Nathan grew up in.
I think it was this one where they were trapped in the house for a couple days because a baby moose was hurt and the mom was being super protective and wouldn't let anyone near it.  And by near it I mean if you stepped outside she would come charging at you.  I think Nathan said she rammed into the door chasing Nathan's dad back inside.

The hospital Nathan was helping at.
I think it was this same hospital where Nathan almost died at!  Long story short he had to get his appendix taken out but after the surgery he got an infection.  They weren't doing a whole lot for him and he was getting sicker and sicker.  His parents flew him to Idaho Falls (where his grandparents live) and got him the care he needed.  His grandparents said he looked basically dead when they picked him up from the airport.  He was so pale and so weak.

-27 degrees!  SO GROSS!
