FUR RONDY

I am getting worse and worse at keeping this blog up to date.  I ahve alot to blog about since the last two weekends were filled with fun Alaskan adventures. Graham and I went downtown during Fur Rondy on feb 5 and then last weekend was the Iditarod. I still have get to upload the hundreds of pictures from last weekend. Yesterday, I had to work and run errands.

So lets back up to the FUR RONDY. It is an annual 10-day festival with the it ending with the start of the Iditarod(more on that later). So the festival started on a thrusday and we went on the first saturday. We got to watch the start of the Frost-bite run which has a costume contest. By the time the race started it was a balming 6-7 degrees outside. So once we got tired of watching, we had to go warm up. It was fun to watch all the costumes go by. Then we watched the parade, by the time the parade started it had warmed up to 10 degrees Farenheit. It lasted until about lunch time. We got lunch inside and warmed up again. Next on the schedule was going to check out some of the dog racing. Then, we headed down to the snow sculture/ carving contest. After that, it started to get cold again so we decided to head home even though there was going to be more activities in the afternoon. Heres some of the pictures from that day.

It was a really fun day! Now, I am off to go through last weekend photos.
