Dog Sledding

We received the most amazing adventure for Christmas this year from Mummi and Ukki!  They took us all dog sledding!  We got to do it all...well, Jarad and Libby did anyway!  They helped put harnesses on the dogs, and hook them up to the dog sled rope!  We all got to ride in the sled's, which was a blast, albeit scary at times!  Camille fell off the dog sled and was hit in the arm by the sled as it went by, which wasn't too bad compared to the musher who was dragged along on her belly for another 500 yards! Clay really enjoyed riding with his dad! Jarad and Libby both got to try their hand at mushing, which turned out to be much harder than it looked!

 Mummi took three grandkids, Avalon, Archer, and Taylor, on the sled while Libby helped as a co-musher!  Libby had to get off several times to help get the dogs to listen and help them go the right direction.  Then, then were taken out to the lake, where the musher mumbled under his breath about how he hadn't been on this part of the lake before so he wasn't sure how solid it would be!  Yikes!     After we returned, the kids got to feed the dogs some treats!

All in all, we had a really great time!  Thanks again Mummi and Ukki for the wonderful gift!
