Easter Alaska Style

 

 

 

 


So instead of dying eggs (which we still have not done! I'm such a slacker!) we went to the Holt's house. A family in our ward that has 35 huskies at their home. They have participated in the Iditarod 3 times so they are the real deal. We had expected a little 10 minuute ride so the kids could go dog mushing. We got there and we got to watch them hook the dogs up and they took Avery and I on a 8 mile ride then Abby and Brent went on the same 8 mile loop. It was definately above and beyond our expectations! I am amazed at the work and dedication that goes into the sport. It really is a life style. By the time we left we had been there for 3 hours and the girls had the time of their life! Here is a shout out to the Holts! Thank you for such an AWESOME experience!!

Too cool! The Holt's are great. We need to do that next year. Love that you guys are taking advantage of your last months, sad, in Alaska!

That looks like so much fun. Glad to see your still hanging in there in Alaska. When do you move?

How fun!! Maybe we can do that next year! There seems to be a few events each year for the kids to ride but I want to do it too!!
