A Busy Saturday

Today we went to Mush for Kids, an even that Fairbanks hosts each year to give all families something "good" to do together. They had puppies for the kids to hold and see. Jack and Ryan petted a couple, they were all shivering; not because it was 14 degrees but because there were alot of people around them. Jack and Ryan petted one for awhile and he seemed to warm up to them. (By the way we don't need another dog!)

They had sled dog rides for children over 4- they actually got to ride on a real sled with 6 or 8 dogs pulling them. We watched for awhile since Jack was too little.

But they also had small sleds for one child to stand on the back or sit on the sled. Jack rode twice!! He liked it and didn't cry- we though he might. I didn't let him stand though- I was afraid he would just let go, the sled was only attached to one dog and it was on a leash with a helper walking them around.


We came home to rest and we went back out last night to see the Fairbanks Ice Dogs Hockey semi finals (something like that) It was alot of fun and told Ryan that I wished we had started coming before this year. Ice Dogs won 7-1 and we sat right behind the penalty boxes!! It was great. Jack like to bang on the glass and yell"GO GO GO"!

Also yesterday Ryan took off Jack's front of the crib and put on a bed rail to make it a Big Boy bed! The test last night went well. He slept fine and didn't get out of the bed, like we though he might. We hope this will be an easy transition!
