Sled dog

Sunday afternoon our family went to visit some special guests at the Cascade library. I dragged everyone over there so we could sit in a hot room for nearly 55 minutes listening and learning all about the Iditarod, sled dog racing, sleds, Alaska, and all kinds of great pioneer stuff. I took Liam and Elli up to the front of the room to sit on the floor with them, but after about 20 min they were done and had wandered to the back of the room with Dan. I was still sitting there open-mouthed and just loving it all. The best part was petting the dogs. I love dogs. I could have taken them all home with me. We used to have a Siberian Husky named Sasha when we lived in the snowy mounts of Colorado. Just a really fun family outing...at least for me! Woof.
