The annual Delta Dog Daze ski/dog race was held the first weekend in March this year. We hosted the race at our place and ran the trails out our back door. Ellen was the official race marshall and did most of the prep work on the trail and food for post race party. This was the last race of the season. Jeremy was the overall winner of the series this year. You can check out the website Rachel put together which has lots of photos- Race hard play hard, there is a link to it on my sidebar. We didn't get too many photos this year and seemed to have missed all the dogs..opps. If I remember right we had 2 mushers, 5 skijorers, 5 skiers, 2 beer guards, 1 babysitter and 1 timekeeper.

A few of the ladies gearing up.
Rob, one of the beer guards, heading out to the beer stop at the midpoint along the trail. You get time deducted from your race time for each drink you consume along the way.
Jeff stayed home with Wyatt so Mama could get out on the trail.
Rachel had her thinking hat on this year..which also doubled as a beer hat, allowing her hands free drinking on the trail. Too bad her tubes froze-up!
Rachelle is ready to go.
Gwen is almost ready to go.
Steve and Tamara are back home having a post race snuggle. So cute!!
Wyatt is having his one drink minimum to qualify for the race.

I hope you two are going back to check on post-race comments 'cause I love little W's drinkin' picture :) Wish we could have made it to the race! Wyatt and Kieran could have had a nice time together...as long as Wyatt didn't get him all sloppy with the hooch!
Hope to see you guys soon!
hugs from m, m and k
