Fast "Woof Woofs"
Grace, Rebecca, & I went north to Bridgton, Maine on Saturday for the Musher's Festival. There were seventeen sled dog teams from northern New England and Canada competing for the fastest six and eight dog teams. The dogs are amazing athletes ~ they whip themselves into a frenzy when they are harnessed before the race, all barking & jumping crazily as the excitement of the race overcomes them. They apparently have plenty of energy left as they sprint for 20+ minutes pulling an adult on a dog sled. Daddy has some work to do before pulling Gracie in the race next year.

What an experience for Grace! I love the way that you give Grace true Maine outdoor winter moments. Does she (or maybe Daddy) want a dog now? Good Petey and Lil' Bit are not sled dogs or even dogs for that matter but Graces certainly does loves her cats! Grace looks especially cute all bundled up. Daddy, too. But, where, oh, where is Mommy!?
Love to All!

PS- Living so far away is hard. But, we do appreciate and love all of your wonderful posts and beautiful pictures more than anything. We look everyday and just ooh and ahh over every picture and every word. It keeps us a little more involved! Don't ever stop....even a few days is TOO much for us! I have so many friends at school enjoying Grace, too!
