Fox Trap Island
Yesterday we decided to take Cisco and her buddy Siku for a run with the snowmachine out to Fox Trap Island. It was a little cooler than the past week or so, but it was still nice to be able to get out for a bit. I think the dogs were thankful to get out and stretch their legs. I think we should have ran them a little more. They were leading us all the way home….They still had an amazing amount of energy. It is just a km or so from town out on the sea ice. We drove out there, walked around a took a few pictures.

Picky Eater?
Since Cisco was a puppy she’s always been a messy eater. I thought this would be something that she’d eventually stop.
Inukshuk Building Challenge…
Yesterday the Grades 7 to 12 had an Inukshuk building challenge.
Furry Visitor
Cute little guy (or girl) on a stroll past the house.
Last weekend we had this nice Arctic Fox walking all around the neighborhood. We haven’t seen many in town. I think this was the second time for me. I had also heard that there were a few rabid foxes caught but that was a month ago. The only other wildlife we normally see in town is Arctic Hare so I’m guessing that this fox was on the prowl for a lunch or something. It’s amazing how white the foxes’ pelts become in the winter. It’s a stark contrast with the browns that we saw this summer.
Enjoying a Beautiful Day
Yesterday we took advantage of the wonderful weather. Most of our winter has been extremely cold, mostly hovering around -35ºc.
Truth and Reconciliation Commission
On Tuesday the Truth and Reconciliation Commission was in Chester to talk to all the people that were affected by the Residential School System.
The Latest Northern Store Amazing Deal!!
Dear Carly,
I know that we had agreed that I wouldn’t make any impulse purchases at the Northern but I couldn’t keep my hands off this amazing deal. I had promised the manager that once he brought the price down to $1.00 I would buy it. He finally did. So here it is….. at a whooping 95% discount. The most amazing remote control in the world….just a bit cumbersome.
Your one and only,
Etienne
P.S. I’m sorry…
My latest purchase!

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.
