We visited the AC store and scored half priced milk, $5 a gallon! We walked around the neighborhood and stopped at the park. While we were there, we met two lovely girls. They played with Abi and Georgia for a bit.
Then we headed to the last day of the festival events. We watched the adult games before heading to the beach. I participated in the 3 legged race with another woman. We won 4th place! I'm just happy that I didn't fall! Toby played football on the beach with a group of boys and adults. Georgia played with some children that kept touching her golden locks. Emily was content to sit and watch the waves. The sea ice prevented the boat race from taking place. Yes, there was ice on the ocean. Yes, we sat on a beach and watched it.
Tug of War was fun to watch. Various groups tested their strength against each other. Inupiat women won against Tanik men. It was 30 women versus 12 men :) Little girls won against the little boys. Big girls lost to big boys. Abi was part of that group. :) Single women won against married women. Married men won against single men. Toby joined in on that one! The married men were a group of older men with bellies. They all pulled in unison and quickly won.
We walked home along the beach smiling about the day we had enjoyed.
