Dog Sledding
I had the most magical day on Saturday, when Richard took me dog sledding. We had quite an interesting drive north, driving through my first snow squall, where the snow comes thick and sideways, so that its quite hard to see the cars in front of you. This photo was taken out of the front window on the main highway north, once the worst of it was over.
The dog sledding was so much fun. I absolutely loved every minute of it. There were 6 dogs and we went through the trees, with snow gently falling making it quite magical and just like the movies!! The dogs were very happy and were having as much fun as us on the sleds.
After our dog sled ride, we investigated the "igloos"...
And tried snow shoeing...
The snow shoeing was hard work - the snow was deep and piles onto the back of the snow shoe, making it hard work to pick up your foot! But it was all such good fun.
We had our lunch around the fire, but by now it had started to snow. It was rather surreal sitting around the fire, eating bbq'd food with a pile of snow on my lap!!
