Part 2: The perfect way to end a perfect day!
At about 3pm we decided to pack in the fishing. We loaded everything up, and came home to pick up Cisco to bring her with us for the rest of the day. (more…)
Part 1: Ice Fishing in June
We have so many pictures from yesterday that I decided to turn it into two posts. This is the first part of our day. (more…)
Summer Solstice
June 21st was Summer Solstice (The longest day of the year). (more…)
What the dog found….
Yesterday I took Cisco outside to play for a bit and while she was wandering around the rocks she came across a bird…..I thought for a second she was actually going to catch it! It got away though. After she chased the bird, she came back to where she found it and started sniffing around. I went over to see what she had found…..and this is what I saw. (more…)
Aboriginal Day
Yesterday was National Aboriginal Day. The local RCMP BBQ’d hot dogs for the community. We even got to see them all dressed up in their Red Serge. Not a sight we get to see very often. It looked like they had a very successful turnout. I went for a while to check things out. I have included a few pictures I captured while I was there. (more…)
A weekend drive
This weekend we decided to take a drive out to first lake. Since I’ve been fighting a nasty cold, and have been basically stuck in the house for the past week, we decided this was a good chance to burn off some energy the dog has been building up over the past week. (more…)
Is it that time already?
I can’t believe that school is out for another year. This past weekend our neighbors had a dinner for a few people in town who are leaving. (more…)
My turn….
This was the first I’ve seen a meme. I have been interested to see who gets tagged in each one. I was quite surprised to see that Morena tagged me a couple days ago (Thanks Morena 
). I wish I could tell you why it has taken me this long to respond, but honestly I don’t have a valid excuse. So I will now answer her questions…… (more…)
A Great day!
Yesterday, a few of us decided to take advantage of the above zero temperatures and drove out to one of the lakes in the area to hang out and have a picnic. (more…)
Summer is on its way!!
I can tell that summer is coming! Since we’ve had above freezing temperatures for the past while, the snow has been rapidly disappearing! This has made for some wet and muddy areas. It has also made me want to be outside more than inside. (more…)

Us
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.
