Mattress Races!! Rondy Fun!

Fur Rondy is in full swing this week and there is lots of outdoor fun to be had.  We went to be entertained by the crazies in the Mattress Races.  

People dress up in crazy costumes and race down a hill.

To come crashing into the finish line.

 It looks like a people bomb went off.  Crazy costumed bodies go flying every which way.

 Some of the groups even flew past the four methods to slow them down (rubber inner tubes, carpet scraps, hay bales and a huge snow berm) and crashed into the crowd.

One of the guys from the "Monkeys Jumping on the Bed" group came over for a photo op. with Torsten.  I thought he would be scared but he thought it was hilarious!!

The crazy things we do for winter fun in the Last Frontier!!

I was just sad that we missed out on the Outhouse races that were later that day!  ;)
