More Winter Adventures at the Morton Arboretum

Yesterday it was another “warm” & gorgeous 30 degree winter day, so we trekked on over to one of our favorite places in the area: The Morton Arboretum to see the husky dog demonstrations. 

My kids were beyond giddy … especially one smitten 6 year old little girl who sleeps with “Highland Husky” {her stuffed husky dog} almost every night. She now wants a team of her own.

We tracked down the blue-eyed/brown-eyed Husky & Sunshine Girl loved getting some love from the dogs. We also watched a really interesting presentation on the Iditarod Race in Alaska. If you do not know the history of the race, look it up! It’s really fascinating. Our presenter’s dog has participated in the race several times.

At the end of her presentation, she said her friends in Alaska are mad as it was 50 degrees there last week! As for today, well… it’s about 20 below here in Illinois & no school today or tomorrow! Yahoo!!! I love when they are home. We baked cookies, read, snuggled, worked some more on our dog puzzle & tonight we will watch some Husky-themed Iditarod movie!

Stay warm & take a hike!

Grace & Peace,
