Dashing thru the snow...

On the fourth day of Christmas we are supposed to pick a lyric or title from a song.  Keeping with the theme of trying to scrap as much as I can from the Santa Adventure, Jingle Bells came to mind, but not the whole song, just the first line in the song:  Dashing thru the snow.  If I'd have had enough room and letter, I'd have changed it to be:  in an eight dog open sled...

We went on a sled dog ride.  There wasn't enough snow for us to use the big sled for everyone to ride at once, so they took the small sled that only held two people at a time.  Lucky, Erica, she got to go twice...woo hoo!!!  Jeff has wanted to drive a sled dog team for as long as we've been in Alaska.  He kept bugging the musher (driver) to let him do it.  He even told her he'd pay big if she did.  Well, she let him.  Apparently he did a good job, too (or so I'm told).  At the end of the short ride, Jeff held up his end of the deal and gave her $100 to split with the other gal that was helping.  Too bad I couldn't get pictures of him driving...
