Gallivanting Gingerbread Gal Visits AK

A gingerbread lady came to stay with us last month. She asked us to show her something she could only see in Alaska. So on March 7th, we decided to take her to a dog-sled race called the Iditarod. Teams of special dogs pull their owners over a thousand miles across the snow. These dogs could get from St Louis to New York City in only 10 days!

Maia welcomes our new friend to the wintery north.


Here come the doggies!


The dogs only sweat through their feet, so they wear booties to keep them warm.


This is Rick Swenson, the only person to win the race 5 times.
He didn't win this year, though.


"Thanks for watching the doggies with me!"


P.S. - Thankfully, most of the snow is gone now. Only the big piles and the shady spots have any left. And the sun is up until 9:30 at night!
