Weekends are SNOW fun!

We've gone to the dogs! Snow dogs that is. A Siberian Husky club in our area hosted a special day for people to come and meet the dogs, try out the sleds, watch teams run, roast marshmellows, hear stories and learn about dog mushing. It took place at a forest perserve and the weather was perfect, for snow dogs that is. There was snow on the ground and snow blowing sideways through the air. Did I mention it was cold, cold, cold?!? M enjoyed it all. We had watched "Balto" the night before in preparation for the big event. You know, the cartoon depicting the sled dogs who raced through severe weather to carry medicine to Nome. Anyhow, M was very excited to see, Balto, in real life, even though we kept telling her she was going to see dogs LIKE Balto.

When it came to petting the huskies, she was a little timid, not that I could blame her. The dogs were super friendly, but also super excited as they knew they would be running the sleds later in the day.

Baba got the husky spirit and pulled M around on a dog sled. Baba was even barking, which M thought was pretty darn funny. A good time was had by all and we will definately be heading back to that event next year!

More snow fun today with sledding at the hill on the end of our street. M has the pleasure of zipping down the hill with Mama or Baba in this sweet ride, Baba's ice fishing sled. Last year, she wouldn't sit in the sled by herself only with Mama, otherwise she would start screaming and crying. What a difference a year makes!

Remember our snowman from a few days ago? Well, here he is again, only with a bit more snow on top of him now. Hope you are enjoying a winter wonderland of your own!
