As you sit in your little corner of the world, Alaskans are celebrating a very special time of the year. The Summer Solstice. Since winter is long and dark, we enjoy the longest day of the year. The sun rises at 2:57 a.m. and sets at 12:47 a.m. That is almost 22 hours of daylight!!!
With all this sun comes lots of fun. We grow some of the biggest vegetables in the world. We can watch a baseball at midnight. We even run races at midnight!
This is exactly what Mike and I did. We entered the Midnight Sun Run 10k race. We didn't exactly run the race. We more walked and/or jogged the 6.25 miles. Here are some pictures of our fun!
Kristie poses at mile 6(even though she's smiling, her feet hurt).
Kristie and Mike cross the finish line at 11:41 p.m. 
Kristie poses with Alaska Governor, Sean Parnell, after the race.
Mike's parents, Bob and Linda, cross the finish line at 12:24 a.m.
