American Dog Derby- GO JACKSON!!!

We went to the American Dog Derby in Ashton, ID again this year. Jackson really showed his stuff this time. The kids have actually been practicing this winter, with Jackson pulling them on their sled down the road. Well, it looks like all the practice paid off....Jackson won first place in the Mutt Race!!! What is a mutt race?Kids get to bring their pet dog and see how fast he can pull them to the finish line. Out of all the doggies, he had the fastest time, pulling Lindsey on a sled. (I'm not sure how far it was, but it was a short sprint down the middle of main street, and it took a total of 5 seconds.) Spencer and Porter raced with him also, but Lindsey's time was fastest.

Lovely ears flapping in the wind...

Lindsey stands proudly with her prize...a bag of doggie treats for the pup! If you look closely at the yellow papers posted on the white car, you can see there is a long list of the names of all the participants and their times...it was a long list...we were suprised to be at the very top!!

Kami and Porter both took first place in their snowshoe race this year! Way to go kids!! Kami was SO excited to race! She and Porter were practicing this morning racing back and forth from one end of the living room to the other. It was so cute because afterwards she told me she won because Porter told her to look straight ahead, and not look at the other racers, and that's what she did!
