On February 16, I went to the Ashton Dog Sleg Race in Ashton, Idaho, with the 6th graders at Madison Middle School. We had been reading about dog sled races, especially the famous Idiatrod in Alaska. So when Mrs. Munn's heard about this dog sled race just 45 minutes from Rexburg, we took a field trip to see the races start. It was seriously sooo freezing and windy. We were going to stay there for longer, but since the kids feet were almost getting frost bite, we decided to leave. It was so fun to see dogs racing and be able to have that experience! Mrs. Munn's, however, wasn't able to go because that morning while we were getting onto the busses, she fell on the ice and cracked her head open. There was blood everywhere, and she had to get 5 staples in her head. It was really sad that she couldn't be there with us!
Some men getting the dogs ready to take off.
Most of the dogs were barking like crazy and they were trying to leave before the gun went off. It was so fun to see this.
Two of the dogs. They were beautiful dogs!
Some of the dogs had these little "boots" on to keep their paws warm. It was so cute!
Everyone's waiting.
Getting ready to go...
And they're off!!

That is so cool! I wish I could've been there. I love those kinds of dogs, mostly, they are siberian husky, i think. Those are seriously the most beautiful dogs. Good thing mom wasn't there for this, she would've been freezing!!!
