Doggie style (tee-hee-hee)

Sunday afternoon our family went to visit some special guests at the Cascade library. I dragged everyone over there so we could sit in a hot room for nearly 55 minutes listening and learning all about the Iditarod, sled dog racing, sleds, Alaska, and all kinds of great pioneer stuff. I took Liam and Elli up to the front of the room to sit on the floor in front, and after about 20 min they were done and had wandered to the back of the room with Dan, but I was still sitting there open-mouthed and just loving it all. I need to learn not to use my kids as the foil for my own interests no matter how childish. So the best part was petting the dogs. I love dogs. I could have taken them all home with me. I used to have a Siberian Husky when we lived in the snowy mounts of Colorado. Just a really fun family outing...at least for me! Woof.

This was a great afternoon together. Even though it was hot as hell in there! The dogs were beautiful, and the lecture was fascinating. The kids just wanted to play with the dogs, oh well.

you crack me up! i love it- david and i will also be dragging our children to stuff like this becuase we love it. our think our parents did the same thing to us. it's like having kids is an excuse to play with toys again, go to museums, and learn about animals and the solar system (which is super important now since the planets are different! hello! i won't be able to help AT ALL with the mobiles).
