Games on the ice

During the return of the sun festival, there were activities planned throughout the week. On Tuesday, there were games on the ice for the kids


Here are Laura and I with one of my students, Sippora. This picture was taken at about 1:30 in the afternoon. We now have sunset at about 3 o'clock.


Here is the 2nd place finisher in the Inukshuk building contest. They had 10 minutes and the highest inukshuk won a prize. The winner was over 16 feet tall.


The folks made the blog. They are anxiously awaiting the winter cold of the North and have purchased new jackets for their adventure. I hope that they are aware that it is still cold in those jackets. We are expecting a blizzard as we speak and it was about -35 today without the wind chill.

Hi there,

The City of Sault Ste. Marie is closed today because of a blizzard. With wind chill, it's -40 to -50 C. Wind gusts are up to 120 km/hr. Can you believe it's actually colder than in Igloolik ?

I'm bummed out, because I was going to wear my jacket and mitts to work to show them off... We're going for a walk later to see how they are.

While you guys are in school, we'll just be drinking our coffee...

Love,
Mom
