Spring Fever

This week we got a bit of Spring Fever! With temperatures in the 20s, 30s, and even 40 degrees, our family decided it was time to break out the four-wheeler and take it for a spin around the yard a little. Connor practiced driving with Samantha behind him as well. He is a cautious one, but getting more comfortable on it every time.Then on Thursday, Jayne Hempstead invited me to go for a ride out the Denali Hwy with her and the dogs! It was very enjoyable and we couldn't have asked for a more perfect day; nice temperatures, beautiful sunshine, no wind, and dogs that were excited to pull the sleds. We passed a few other teams heading the opposite direction just after we got started.

This is me standing on the sled behind the dogs. We stopped for a few minutes on Gas Lake to let the dogs cool down a bit.

We had to unhitch the dogs and put them back in their boxes on the trailer before driving the 2 miles back to town. What a fun experience!
