Spring Carnival is a well loved Arctic Village tradition. The kids have been telling us about Spring Carnival since the day we arrived in the village back in August. They absolutely love all the games, food and fun! Finally the darkness is over and the weather is warmer. Everyone comes out to play for Spring Carnival!
The races kicked off with the little kids piggy back race.
Then, the big kids piggy back race and finally an adult piggy back race. We don't have a picture of the adult race because Sam and I were racing! He carried me to a second place finish!
The little kids were great three-legged racers! I think they must practice!
There was fierce competition amongst the older kids.
The middle schoolers compete in a toilet paper wrap relay race.
The high schoolers toilet paper wrapping.
Even I got in on the adult toilet paper race. It was a lot harder than it looked. My fingers were really cold and the paper kept ripping!
Sam runs a sprint in his heavy winter boots and Carharts.
After the races everyone enjoyed a big caribou feast. Here Gideon stirs the caribou soup.
