Day 10- March 30- Jobie and William

Today was Culture Day for the primary students. After dropping my cousin, Angela, off at the airport for her flight home, I zipped out to meet the crew on a lake near town through the trees. It is an absolutely beautiful location even on a not-so-nice day, but we were spoiled as the sun started beaming down and making it downright HOT! I started my annual face tan, and enjoyed the time spent with colleagues and kids.



There was lots of things happening around the site- people chopping up caribou and fish to eat, playing old style games with kamiks and caribou bones, rolling down the hill, snowshoeing through the trees, boiling tea over the fire, telling stories of the old times in the tents... I could go on and on! The following two boys: Jobie and William asked me to take their picture, so I couldn't resist. Jobie is a great kid, LOTS of energy, spunk and drive. He's had his share of challenges in school, but he's got a super nice side too, that was definitely present yesterday as I watched him and his cousin play a traditional game. William is always bouncing around everywhere. I don't know him very well, but was once camping somewhere that his aunt brought him along, and I was amazed at his fishing skills! He's got a wonderful smile and passion for life. Enjoy the picture- I know I really enjoyed the day!!
