FUR RONDY FIREWORKS
This weekend We went to the Annual Fur Rondy Festival. Its a winter carnival they have every February in Anchorage. As is every other year of course it was freezing cold outside but this is our last year We are able to go so I bundled the kids up in snowsuits and off We went. The first thing We did was hit the pony rides which is Hailey's favorite part. Then it was off to the carnival and because it was so cold We only got to go on 5 rides. It was 18 degrees outside but felt like it was in the negatives. The first ride both kids wanted to ride was the gravatron. Daniel has been on it before but Hailey was upset last year cause She was not of height restriction. Well this year She was tall enough to ride and said it was her favorite ride and wanted to go faster. She is definitly our little daredevil. They also rode the spinning apples, helicopter ride, merry go round, super slide, and Hailey went on the Himalayin with Me. At that point Daniel was too cold and done riding rides. Daniel got some cotton candy and Hailey a candy apple and then it was time to leave. Later in the evening We went back to look at the ice sculptures some of them were still being worked on. They are all being judged next weekend. We also for the first year went back at night and saw the fireworks. My camera did no justice as to how beautiful they were and I was definitly glad I took the kids, but the traffic afterwards was crazy and probably why we never went the last 3 years weve been here to see them.
