Fur Rondy!

So we went downtown to enjoy the Fur Rondy festivities this year. When we got there, Claire had fallen dead asleep even though it was like 6pm. While normally she wakes up when we open the van doors, she stayed asleep through this entire experience, which was hilariously funny to me for some reason.

 So first we went to see the snow sculpture competition. Enlarge the pics - they're pretty awesome!

 We tried hard to wake up Claire when we saw a sculpture of her beloved "Meow Meow Kiggy," but no luck.

 Then we went to the carnival. As we were parking, Parker looked over at Claire and said, "Claire looks like she's not in there, but she is." Had to take a pic to go along with the quote. Still asleep.

 I was so entertained by the idea of a carnival plopped right downtown in the middle of winter. I was laughing out loud when I saw a mom pull down her toddler's face mask to feed him some funnel cake. Ahhhhh, wintertime carnival - who doesn't love one? Isn't it pretty though?

 Daddy and Claire, who is STILL asleep despite the noises of all the games and rides. Hilarious.

 Kenley and Parker riding the rides.

 Had to enjoy the cotton candy in the car, though. I only have so much capacity for sub-arctic carnival weather. Oh, and when we got back to the car, Claire finally woke up. She was super confused though, because we had made a big deal out of going downtown for Fur Rondy (she loves downtown). She kept going, "Downtown? Where downtown go?" Uh, you missed it, Claire. You missed it ALL. But we got some pics! :)
