It’s Day Three of our Alaska Cruise: Juneau, AK
This morning, it was business as usual. We had breakfast at the Lido Bar and then we went back to the observation deck to play.
The kids loved the “water elevator” on the ship.
One of the chess tables was free so Janie played a game with Dada.
For lunch, we ate at the taco bar that was by one of the pools.
Then there was just enough time to get in a hardy nap before we arrived in Juneau.
When we docked, the kids were excited to see where we ended up. We had been at sea for almost 2 days.
When we disembarked, we got a family photo while waiting for our dog sledding excursion to begin.
We all rode in a van up into the deep forest and arrived at a summer camp built for dogs training for the Iditarod Race. Look at all the dogs!!
Our driver and guide, Brittany, took us on a little tour and described how they train the dogs, how they get their care, and even fed us cookies and hot chocolate!
Then it was time to meet some of the dogs. There were 12 chosen to pull us today and they were all so excited to get started. One gave Peanut a giant kiss on the face.
Then we all got into a cart and off we went!
After the ride, we went to visit the puppies.
Dada held one of them while the kids said “hello” and petted him.
They also enjoyed feeding him treats!
We were all wet by the end but it was so much fun!
Back in town, the kids took one last photo together and then it was back on the boat!
