I happened to be in Anchorage, Alaska, on Saturday when I realized that it is Fur Rondy week. Since the Fur Rondy dog sled race starts in Downtown Anchorage on the first day of the events, the streets were full of pedestrians and other streets were blocked off to make way for the racing dog sleds.
My thoughts turned to families when I saw Mom and Dad and the kids walking together to get to the race starting point. What a great family outing. I felt warm inside to see the families together and I thought of the home before leaving when everyone is making way for the same occasion. They are not splitting up to go to school, work or whatever individual pursuits that take them on their separate ways.
They are spending this day together as a family with its shared experiences to see the races, Maybe they shared the Panake Breakfast at Pioneer Hall. They will see the parade and maybe the ice sculptures or share in any number of the events planned for the first day of Fur Rondy.
I love it!
