Balto

I've been catching up on your pictures. As usual, they are great!

But what happened to Zach - he looks like a 2-year old? He's not even 1 yet! Good grief - Alaska must grow 'em fast!

I forgot to ask - what's the significance of the Balto statue?

Yeah, he is HUGE and learning skills so quickly now. It's insane. If I can get through all these pictures from my family's vacation I will show you a video of him crawling you won't believe! :) Balto is a famous sled dog that saved a bunch of kids in a remote village here in Alaska in like 1914 or something. He led the seld with medicine to them in a blizzard...there was no other way for them to get it! His race is now famous--called the Iditarod...it's done every year now!
