Anchorage, Alaska

We just got off of our 24th Skype with Anchorage, Alaska. They got 20 inches of snow all season, but some parts can get up to 500 inches. 3 years ago, they got 120 inches of snow. They said that Alaska is a lot colder. They also said that there is not as much people even though Alaska is a lot larger. There is a lot more wildlife that live in their backyard than Texas. Some animals include ravens and moose. They also have a State fair that is also a really big deal. It is a lot like ours except what they serve instead of beef, they eat caribou and moose. They miss swimming, the heat, and their friends. Over there, it is 18 degrees Fahrenheit. It was 10:47 am when it was 1:47 pm here. Most kids are home schooled. The state of Alaska also provides money for all of their textbooks. They have had lots of encounters with moose, and have seen a few bears before. There was a bear that tried to get into a Target, and a moose got into a Walmart and ate the produce. They have lived there four about 4 years.
