Walking in a Winter Wonderland

Temperatures climbed up to 30 degrees this weekend, which is a rarity for a December in Alaska. Being that we just had a couple weeks of weather that was 15 to 20 degrees below zero, this felt like summer! So Sunday Justin and I set out to find Wyatt a sled. We found a perfect durable sled that he will hopefully get years of fun out of. When we got home we bundled him up and put the leashes on the dogs, who were so excited to get to go for a walk! Our neighborhood has a great park that slopes down toward the river just a short walk away. At first Wyatt just sat silently in the sled, not exactly sure of what was going on. But after a few minutes he started yelling out at the birds we saw and other dogs we passed, and saying "weeee." When we arrived down at the park, the dogs had the time of their life, but Wyatt was a little frustrated when he realized how hard it was to walk in the snow with his boots on. So we pulled him around the park and let him ride the sled down the little hills which he loved. After playing a little while we made our way down to the river which is frozen now, and Justin and I took turns riding the sled down the hill to the river with Wyatt, he had a great time and kept asking for more! Hopefully this warm weather sticks around for a little while so we can enjoy more family walks.
