First day of Grade 7 and Grade 2 for Kate and Mira
Well hello out there.... We have almost survived the first month of school and we are busy, busy busy with school, dance, dry land training (ski team) as well as reconnecting with friends, after school activities and band (Mira is starting the trombone! wish us luck)
Mira makes her first cake - alone... check out the icing to cake ratio!
The biggest highlight so far this fall was the Klondike Road Relay... the Green Squad Gremlins (Mira's Ski team friends) participated in the relay - for adults - they run from Skagway to Whitehorse through the night. For the youth, they run half of the full race, Carcross to Whitehorse (76 km) with an 8 person team. Two cars left Whitehorse at 3:00 am - the boy car - which I am told was very quiet, and the girl car, which had enough energy to power a small village. We had the music going, make-up on, glow lights and lots of energy. Mira ran her leg at a little after 5 am in the pitch dark. We encouraged her up the hills in the dark with a bull horn. The night was full of stars and a full moon. Earlier in the night the northern lights had put on a show. Great fun was had by all. We started in Carcross at 4:30 am and crossed the finish line in Whitehorse, with a decent second place finishing at a bit before 11 am. What a run!
