Sunrise
It's going to be a really pretty one today! It won't last long though.
Daybreak
We could see the sun just coming up. This is about the most sun we would see all day.
Take a picture
Taking a picture of the "sunrise." It was pretty that day.
Break
Taking a break on a lake for everyone to catch up.
Frozen!
We were so cold! The one thing about this picture that cracks me up is the icicle that goes from my eyelash to my hat.
Dog sledding!
It was so cool! They let us have our own sled and Bill was the driver! The dogs were pumped! When we took off the girl behind us was thrown off of her sled. Her dogs ran right by us. We gave her a ride until we caught up to her dogs. We crashed once. I got a great video of it HERE.
All in layers
Two hats, a scarf, three shirts, three pairs of pants, three pairs of socks and the outer winter wear on top of all of it. It was exhausting to put it all on.
Day 4!
We had breakfast and back to our cabin to get ready for dogsledding day! The sky looked so pretty!
One last fire
Before we leave for the night. You can see the juice kettle in the fire.
