What we’ve patiently been waiting for…
A real live Polar Bear!!
Now we’ve had one dead sitting in our freezer for a while now, but not exactly what I call exciting. We’ve been patiently waiting to hear word that the bears have made their way closer to town. Last we heard they were still way out the inlet. Well, this morning we received a phone call from a lady in town saying that there have been a few bears spotted a little ways from town. We got ourselves ready and headed out. They were quite a ways out on the ice, but with binoculars we were still able to see them. I know there is going to be more opportunity to see them closer, but it was still exciting to see them in their natural habitat. There were 3 bears in total. Rumor is that it was a mama bear and her cubs.
Can you see the black dot in the middle of the picture? That's the bear!! lol

The above photo is me and her. You probably had it all figured out anyways. We are about to live a once in a lifetime experience, The Great White Canadian Arctic. We have decided to create this blog to keep our friends, families and curious strangers abreast of our adventures. I'm sure a few misadventures as well. All while living in Chesterfield Inlet, Nunavut. Read on to see what it's all about!

Oh! And by the way, this is Cisco, our dog. Even though she likes to puke a lot, she's still part of the family and will partake in our adventure to the North. She'll be sure to keep us on our toes and keep the polar bears at bay! She's also good for a few laughs in between leg humping sessions. We still haven't figured out how to stop that...
Thank you for a great year (or half year in our case) of blogging.
