Iditarod!

Today we went to watch the ceremonial start to the Iditarod, which is a big sled dog race here in Alaska. The morning was crazy and chaotic making sure we had all the snow gear for everyone in the family, but once we got there we had a great time! Well, aside for the time when Parker decided he no longer wanted to go to the Iditarod and wouldn't move from his spot in the parking lot.

Here's Claire all bundled up and ready to go:

Here are some of the dogs resting and eating:

The kids plopped right down and had a little snow picnic:

Here are some of the dog sled teams:

And here's the whole family enjoying our Alaskan experience!

The magical backpack had the same effect on Claire that it used to have on Kenley:

What a fun day to start our Spring Break!
