Our day at Baikal - in pictures

The Jackson clan...seriously don't know what we would do without this family.
Anya with her best friend, Melissa
Anya with her other favorite friend, Ashlee (that she calls Ashlea because all girls names here end with an 'a')
Fish - there are fish EVERYWHERE at Baikal
You can se the lake behind us - it is massive - if you don't know anything about Baikal...Google it - it is the a pretty amazing lake
People drive cars on the lake - 'back in the day' they would put railroad tracks across the lake, and a train would go across...just in the winter.
The water (well, ice) is so clear - pretty amazing
Anya might be the only year old that wears Cocah sunglasses...OK, they're mine, I like to share
In this photo, you can kind of see the depth of the ice. It is about a meter thick here



Someone was so excited about going to Baikal, she needed a nap on the way there
