Dog-Sled Races

This weekend Isaac and I decided to spend the entire weekend outdoors. On Saturday we drove up to Boylston/Mannsville area on the Tug Hill to watch some dog sled races. The races took place in Winona State Forest Preserve, a place you should check out for all your skiing, biking, snowshoeing, mushing, and snowmobiling needs. We arrived close to the start of the 4 dog team, mid distance race. It was about a 10mile race and would take over an hour so we only saw the beginning. It was so great to get outdoors. The weather was beautiful and there was so much to do. As per request of my parents who couldn't make it to the races with us I have attached a good amount of photos from the races. If you have never seen a dog sled race before you should go. The people are so nice and the dogs are so cute! I would love to get into mushing as a hobby. Here goes:

The second-to-last shot is gorgeous! We've been to these races for the past two or three years, but we couldn't go this past weekend because we were shooting a hockey tournament. I think there were some races the weekend before, too. I was so disappointed because it turned out to be such a gorgeous weekend - especially on Sunday! You guys got some beautiful shots! :)
