A great beginning to a funfilled long weekend
This long weekend is probably going to be one of the busiest weekends we’ve had up here so far. This weekend is the fishing derby with judging happening tomorrow night. Activities will continue into this week as well. I’m not going to spoil my future blog posts so you will have to check back daily to see what is going on in town. There are some exciting things happening.
We heard the other day that the roads to first and third lake are finally clear. Yesterday we took the opportunity to hop on the hondas and take a drive. Since the fishing derby is going on we were expecting to see a few people out fishing. We made it to first lake and decided to just hang out and relax. When we decided to leave, I got the RZR a little stuck!! You’ll see from the below pictures that Etienne had to winch me out! lol. We also took a few pictures with the Inukshuk that was nearby. From first lake we headed back on the hondas and went to third lake. Here we stopped and had enjoyed a hot cup of tea. It was a really nice day out. We did see a few people fishing on first lake. On our way back we spotted a few birds that we didn’t recognize. Pardon our ignorance (birds haven’t really been a big interest of mine) but we still aren’t sure exactly what we saw. If anyone recognizes what we saw in our last picture please let us know.
Oops....just a little stuck...
Finally unstuck....unhooking the winch

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.

Sand hill cranes! (I think) You’ll see more of them in the summer and fall… huge eh?
