Today was an amazing day. The weather was incredible, with the temperatures above 32 F. It felt like a heat wave. There was a lot going on this weekend in Bemidji, of which one event was the annual sled dog races out at Buena Vista Ski Area. I will follow up this post with some pictures of the actual sled dogs. We found these minature statues of Paul and Babe that are used in the parade. 
Auntie Melanie came with us and as you can see, she is enjoying the weather. Beth is looking like it is -30 below instead of 30 + above! You can take a girl out of California, but you can't take the California out of the girl.
I think the kids enjoyed watching the dogs. If you have never seen the staging area before the race, it is quite the sight and sound! Every single dog is barking and yapping in anticipation of the race. They know what's about to happen!
We hit the chateau for some food and music. Freedom's Call was slated to play, so we got to enjoy a little bluegrass music while dining. What could be better?

Poor Beth looks freezing! My hubby is also from California and I made the mistake of taking him up north for the first time in January...needless to say he will never live there. I guess it's jsut too cold for him! Yay for Beth giving it a whirl!
