BLOGVILLE SLED DAY 

Madi was all about fun and pawticipation.  She was the ultimate Pawty Girl

I'M READY FOR SLED DAY 
I HAVE ON MY NEW TOBOGGAN
AND MY BEST FUR COAT.


I AM BEYOND THRILLED TO BE A PART OF SARGE'S 


Since this was my first time in the snow and on a sled, I 
asked Sarge if I could (thanks Sarge for providing such a 
great ride) try a cafeteria tray first.
 After a few trips down the kitty slopes, I felt confident enough
 to hop on this Arctic Ice Breaker to do some serious sledding.
OMDS/OMCs you will never in a gazillion years guess how 
COOOOOOOOOOL THIS RIDE WAS!!! MOL

Chris, ONE OF THE FORMER GRADUATE STUDENTS MOM WORKED 
WITH IS WORKING IN THE FIELD OF BLUE ICE.  HE SENT MOM 
THIS  PICTURE OF HIS TRIP TO THE ARCTIC.  
HE IS ON THE RIGHT USING A HAND DRILL TO GET CORE ICE.
Side note today:
I loved working with all the students at NCSU. Chris is originally from
Germany.  He received his PhD and is now in Norway.

  4. What a great ride the cafeteria tray made for you, Madi! That is SuperCold work that Chris is doing but it does look interesting!

  5. I guess some Brave scientist has to get out in that frigid cold for testing. Just glad it's not me because it gives me the shivers. Your angel riding on a tree in the snow was cold enough, lol.

  6. Mom would love to visit Antarctica, but that will never happen. Cold and snow and is her thing, not this horrible warm winter we are having.

  10. What a great flash back to a fun Blogville event. We like the cold and snow but we don't think we'd like to be in the Artic.

  11. Angel Madi sure loved her sled ride.
    And being active at the Arctic—wow, not for me as it is way too cold.

  17. Such fun flashbacks. I'm sure glad we don't have to worry about sledding here!

  18. HAHA! Madi on a lunch tray - now that's my kind of sled too Angel Madi! As for working out in the FREEEEEEEZING COLD, I admire anyone who can do that and especially those whose jobs involve that - I have always been super sensitive to temperature......hot and cold. That means I'm rarely "comfortable" in any kind of weather!

    Hugs, Pam

  19. "...and my best fur coat." Angel Madi, you're too funny! Working with or being around people from other countries is usually quite educational and interesting.

  20. I'm so glad you got a cafeteria tray sled ride. You'll be on the biggest slopes before you know it.

    I hope whatever samples they are getting help their research. Science is amazing.

    Thank you for linking up with Feline Friday!
