We ventured into downtown this morning for the ceremonial start of the 2012 Iditarod. We started away from the start line, further down the trail. It was great for the kids to get up close and see all the mushers and their dogs.

The kids each got a dog bootie thrown at them while we were watching. Austin got his from team #19 and Abigail got hers from team #20. What a cool thing for them, and something they'll only get in Alaska!
This team was ready to go! It's no wonder that their musher was 4 time winner Martin Buser!

Wow! This is something they will never forget. Bet Austin what to ride in a sled.
