Cultural Heritage Week

This past week was Cultural Heritage Week at our school. We got to spend Wednesday-Friday doing different activities that were culturally relevant! It was a TON of fun!
Wednesday my kiddos got to wear their tie-dye shirts all day. The got many compliments about their shirts and they were super excited to show them off. They looked so much better than lasts years! 

                             And of course we had to do a silly face :)

We also got to go on a day trip to qiluq hill and got to go sliding! It was the first time that I had been out their and it was a blast! We all had a ton of fun!

                     On our way out to qiluq hill. Kiddos all crammed in the sled

                                               Another sled hauling some kiddos

                 And the race to the top begins! It was a very STEEP hill..

I decided to give it a go and climb up too. Only all the kiddos were in front of me and they kept slipping and knocking me over, sending me right back down to the bottom. After about the 5th time, I gave up and settled for 3/4ths of the way.

                                 Gripping the snow for dear life...

Some of the highschoolers showed up to go sliding too! They were racing up and down the hill with no problem! Making some of my kiddos a bit jealous! Son, in the orange ended carrying some of the kiddos up on his back.

Loading up the sleds again to head back to the school! We just wanted to stay and play more though..

I also learned how to crochet while my kiddos were off doing other activities. The lady that was teaching us was so nice that she let me bring the yarn and crochet needle home so that I could keep practicing! My mom has tried to teach me many times and I only was able to make the initial "chain"...I finally learned how to add on to the chain. 

I started making some eskimo yo-yo's as well. I'm not quite done with that project but it was fun to do that with some of the older kids too.

Quyana Agayun for a awesome week! :)
