Oct 30

The past few weeks have flown by.  I was filled with energy when half of the BSSD schools came to our site for the district October Inservice last week.  How fun it was to see friends and goof off and be social!  We watched Yup’ik dancing and drumming, had an evening of square dancing with live music from Nome, and learned how to play the rambunctious game of Field Crumpet (a person over in Stebbins earned three stitches playing this sport during the inservice!)  The weather has been beautiful: sunny and crisp out with a fresh layer of sparkling snow.  Tonight is our halloween carnival.  There were some side-splitting costumes walking through the halls today, hopefully I’ll snap some more shots tonight during the festivities.  Enjoy!

Here Shaun and Linsey are racing in for the final steps of the fun run wearing their hippie rainbow glasses: a gift from the infamous John Lindula out of Elim.

There is some media I would like to include, but until the technology starts to sort itself out.  I do have more on its way!

Doesn’t she look happy?  She keeps telling me, “Never again!” I don’t understand it.

Jaylyn shared his new puppies with me one afternoon after school.

“Alap’aar!” they cried (cold!)~ my brave Yup’ik children.

My pant legs were rolled up right there with them.
