My first Toonik Tyme is almost over, and even though I didn't get to see the igloo building (I was ice golfing) and the seal skinning was cancelled (it was too windy for the hunters) I still had fun. During the ice golf my team skipped two holes to hang out in an igloo and drink hot chocolate. It was -34 so we thought it was a great idea!! A few tips for if you ever find yourself golfing on ice: you need to account for a BIG bounce when you're chipping, the greens are REALLY fast, and just forget about the drivers....they don't work!!
I've also seen ski-doo races, a craft fair, ice sculptures, dogsled races and para-skiing. I've picked up a few tips now, so if I'm around next spring, I'll be Toonik-savvy!
Aside from the festivities, I'm still moving the furniture around in the apartment!! I'm trying to find a configuration that I like, that also works for hanging pictures....that's my new goal: get pictures on the walls. I have a few things I'd like to frame too, but frames are insanely expensive here. I know that I should just cut my losses and buy some, but I can't quite bring myself to give in to that yet!! Any bets on how long it takes me to break?!?
Lauren and Alex want to know if you can build them one of these now? :-)
