2013 Fur Rondy Fun

Saturday, Feb. 23, we went downtown for Fur Rondy festivities. We barely made it to the end of the parade but our spot happened to be the spot where the parade returned. So it worked out nicely; saw the end of the parade as the beginning was returning. I didn't think of taking pictures until it was too late, so there's only a couple cars for show. We then saw the beginning of some of the dog races. That leather blanket on the floor by Bryson was for the "blanket toss". I stood in one time to be one of the holders, they basically have random people hold on around and on three they pull and the person flies up and when they land it just stops, there's no bounce. Kind of cool concept. It was quite cold, so we ate lunch in the mall, then went to the carnival and let the boys pick a game or ride. Bryson's game was guaranteed a prize, but Kade's we were so excited that out of at least 8 other people, he won! We then saw the outhouse races, which were hilarious! After a while, Bryson was so tired he just fell asleep on the floor, and I had to get a shot of the couple in the giant fur coats next to him. We went to see the ski jumps for a bit but it was snowing pretty good by then and Teagan was screaming, so tired and cold. We decided to drive to the fireworks and sit in the car, fortunately we got a pretty good spot. And by then Teagan was happy and we were able to enjoy the snow sculptures. They were still being worked on but still amazing!
