Yesterday we decided to check out the start of the Iditarod in Willow, AK for the first time since we got here. It is quite an event and something we just had to experience! I'm so glad it was an amazingly beautiful day and warm for this time of year (27 degrees!).
It was quite a hike from the car to the starting point of the race so we opted for the sled for the boys. They loved it! Made for much less whining!
The characters there were fun to watch! Check out the guy behind me with the fur hat! I'm sure the anti-fur people would have had a nervous break down here! And check out the next picture! That is what I thought was Chewbacca but it's just some guy in a fur suit! Oh Alaska!
Riding in style. The limo of snow machines.
This was the only musher I could get a good picture of. It's #3 Ray Redington Jr. from Wasilla AK. He's currently in 6th place.
They boys squeezed a spot to watch the mushers go by.
Did I mention that this is all taking place on a giant frozen lake! I think that's so cool!
Nothing like some hot dogs to make the day even better for the boys!
The mountains of snow in the parking lot were totally irresistible to the boys!
Gorgeous mountain view on the amazingly clear day! BEAUTIFUL!

Of course...the dogs!
