Tustumena 200 Dogsled Race
Atti's "I'm sorry" face at the Tustumena 200

After a long week of teaching and coaching, Friday morning Jon headed north up to Houston/Wasilla in a school bus filled with high school basketball players while I headed south to Seward in a school bus filled with middle school skiers. Jon's team played on Friday, beating Houston. Then, they played on Saturday, beating Wasilla in overtime. My skiers did well, for 8th grade boys, we took 2nd and 4th. For 8th grade girls, we took 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 10th. For 7th grade girls, we took 2nd and 9th. It was a cold afternoon at the meet with temps at zero. We had many chilly kids.
Seeing as though Jon wouldn't be back until late Saturday, I picked up Atti for a sleepover. She slept next to me the whole night and kept me company. We woke up on Saturday morning to -27 degrees. Despite the cold, we went to the annual Tustumena 200 dogsled race held in Kasilof. Atti was overly excited and barked at the sled dogs as they went by, so unfortunately she had to go in the car. She wasn't too happy about that.
After Atti and I wrestled in the living room, we went for a walk on the beach. The temp was about -5, but there wasn't much of a wind and the sun was shining. The mountain range was beautiful. Attie had fun running ahead, burrowing her head in the snow, and sniffing around.
