Last weekend we went to downtown Anchorage to check out the Fur Rendezvous. There are a lot of different events taking place, as well as a winter carnival. One of Houston's favorites was the dog sled racing. We just happened to be coming by at the right time and were able to watch it from the warmth of our car. Later on we went to see the running of the reindeer. It's like running of the bulls, meets a costume contest. They get a handful of reindeer and parade them through the crowd, before they send them careening at the rear ends of these wonderfully dressed individuals. It was quite the scene and pretty funny to witness.

My favorite part about this picture is the random half naked guy and the dude in a hula skirt.
Here are the reindeer getting ready for their race...too bad nobody was gored this year. The announcer really wanted someone to fall so that they could get trampled- There's always next year!
Awesome Butterfly costumes (if I were a reindeer I would have gone for the easy target)
Our little Ninja. It wasn't that cold but Houston was really excited to wear his face mask.

Looks like a lot of fun! I'm lovin' the reindeer as well.
