Fur Rondy!

As Nana mentioned, we went to Anchortown yesterday, just the two of us (…we can make it if we trrrrrrrrry just the two of us… you and i…). A recipe for trouble, for sure! My sister said we couldn’t get arrested, because she wouldn’t bail us out. HA! what, she thinks she’s the ONLY FRIEND WE HAVE? heck no! That’s what V is for!

Not that we needed it. Heh. But, we did have a good time, regardless. *g* Sometimes, mom and I think entirely too much alike. We spent the day talking and laughing and talking some more, and even finishing each other’s sentenses, and saying the same thing at exactly the same time.

She even laughed at THIS just as hard as I did….

It didn’t help that through the rest of the day I’d randomly say “Speed humps, my hump, my lovely lady bumps…” heh. It also didn’t help that the very NEXT sign we saw was “Children at play.” now THATS fast humping. *nodnodnod*

We started off at “OMG IT’S EARLY” with Nana’s mocha in hand, and had an uneventful but talk filled trip up. First stop, was to see mom’s pictures hanging in the Fur Rondevous Photo Contest – ALL FOUR of her pictures were hung! She poohpooh’s that, but she beat out a lot of other entries to be chosen for exhibition! A picture of the buglet, and one of my girl and her clarinet made the cut, as well as two scenic pictures. Awesome Nana!

After that, a scenic tour of downtown (read: we knew where we were (in the car, downtown) but not yet how to get where we were going! (somewhere downtown!) ) brought us to the railroad station, and the snow sculptures. Most were still in progress, some were finished, some not even started. It was interesting to watch the sculpters work, as well as see some finished projects. Cutest of all were the bundled up babies who were all kinds of excited to see the intricate snowmen.

We saw one sculpture (read: pile of disgarded pieces) that we decided needed a name! We called it…. Ice Flow… and liked it so much Nana bestowed a ribbon on it!

What – we’re easily amused!

We also saw puppies galore – no sledding ones, but sled PULLING ones, as we were there for the lightweight pull.

And we met that last big beautiful friendly baby, too. He was waiting for the heavyweight division, and pure bred Malamute. Gorgeous!

After we grabbed something to eat, we did a little shopping. (FUDGE! And CLOTHES! And FUDGE! Thanks nana!) And after a quick call home, we headed back through the pass. Where we saw things like Para-Skating, Ice Formations Taller Then Nana, and Mountains n Ice..

The cool thing about the ice and mountain pictures there, is that it looks like it’s frozen solid, no? No. Click play below, and see what’s REALLY going on…

More pictures here: Fur Rondy 07. I wish it weren’t such a long trip – I’d love to catch more of the festivities. Maybe next time.

Mom and I made it home in one piece, tired and eager for a nap. Oh – And I even made it on the TV News. HAHAHAH! I’m FAMOUS.

And that brings you to the end of the post that never seemed like it would end! Whoo!
