Fur Rondy

After dim sum at Charlie's Bakery today, Ted had a meeting so Kisun and I bundled up and headed off to Fur Rondy, which originally was when all the trappers and traders rendezvoused to trade furs and get really drunk. I think. Anyways, they still have a token fur auction, but the biggest draw is the carnival, which is like any other carnival you've been to, except that it's really cold out. Why on earth would anyone want to go on the Zipper at 20 degrees f.? I don't know, but they do. Can you imaine the windchill? Anyways, I had a hunch that there would be pony rides there, and I was not disappointed. Kisun really digs the pony rides, and seeing as how there's only one pony ride outfit around here, we're really starting to get to know the ponies on a first name basis. They seem happy, or as happy as ponies can seem walking in a circle in the middle of winter, but these little guys are stout with some sturdy pony coats, so I'm sure they're just fine.
After the pony rides we hit the carnival. Most of the rides weren't either suitable for a lone two-year old, or wouldn't fit a amazonian parent and said 2-year old, so we picked the carousel, which is a little like a crappy pony ride. Oh, well. Kisun liked it and managed to convince another little girl sitting on the horse next to here that it wasn't terrifying. So, all in all, Fur Rondy was pretty cool, except for the whole "fur" part. At least they weren't farmed though, huh?
