The kids and I went on our First official dog sled ride in Anchorage. We took the kids several years ago when they were really small and We lived in Fairbanks. It was very cold and they didnt like it at all. They have had the dog sled rides available a few weekends last month and a few this moth but it had always been too cold or something else going on and We never got around to going. Well today it was a record breaking high of 47 degrees which is really odd temperatures for February in Alaska. I figured probably the best temperature We would get for dog sledding. I bundled the kids up and to the ski hill we went. Well there was only 1 dog sled and 1 musher and a long line of people. Needless to say We waited in line for over an hour until it was our turn. The kids entertained themselves by petting the dogs that were on break and playing in the snow. Our time finally came and the kids loved it. They wanted to go again but I was not waiting in that line again for a 5 minute ride. It was pretty neat as back in Fairbanks I never went. I was the picture taker as Justin had taken the kids. The Musher was nice enough to get a picture of us when the ride was over before We got out of the dog sled and She even let me stand in her spot for a pic where it looks like I was pulling the dogs. It is definitly something the kids will always be able to remember about Alaska and they were the age to actually enjoy themselves.
