Trying to keep up with many sports of the Olympics and especially Bobsleigh. Cousin Joe's son Joey is an alternate so, so far, he hasn't raced, but that doesn't mean he won't yet.
Also watched the medal rounds of hockey, skating, some speed skating, snowboarding, etc. ect. TV finally isn't boring.
Even though he isn't racing, we do, every once in a while, get a glimpse of Joey as he assists his teammates while they are unloading.
Then there is Rendezvous this weekend. Went to Whitehorse Elementary to the Fun Fair and F U N it was. The kids gambled (above) at the roulette wheel. That's Alanna sporting a feather in her hair and garter on her leg although you cannot see that in this photo and Emerson with his moustache. Both decked out to celebrate Rendezvous.
They also went fishing, tossed beanbags in holes, tossed balls in holes, played musical chairs as well as a few other games I am sure I've forgotten. Above is their first experience at putting. They won prizes, ate hotdogs and had fun.
Then it was to my house where the kids stayed and the adults (except for me!) left for a Rendezvous adult evening. Now, as the story goes, as the adults were at dinner, the power went out in downtown Whitehorse but the bar/restaurant continued to whoop it up, ordering food and drinks in the dark. The revue they then went to see altered its program to play the first half in the dark under flashlight and bicycle light. Nothing keeps Whitehorse from celebrating.
