Alaskan High Kick NYO

ALASKAN HIGH KICK
This is a game of balance where the athlete sits on the floor below a target with one hand grasping the opposite foot. With his/her remaining free hand planted on the floor, the athlete springs up and attempts to kick the target with the free foot. After kicking the target, the athlete must show balance upon landing - he/she is at the original position before kicking. Height is the objective.

ALASKAN HIGH KICK

Yes Ladies and Gentlemen, The NYO was the most exciting, educational Native event I have witnessed. I have pictures and videos. This blog isn't video friendly. I will have to post them elsewhere, Facebook or YouTube so you can see them. The events were nothing you would ever think existed. All of these are brought thru generation after generation. Very exciting

New walk around town, Front St.

Here are some pictures I tool around the Village today. I don't usually go down this street. It is front street. There are boats and motors, trucks, vans and probably cars buried in snow. People digging out their homes, A couple of buildings were open, but I couldn't get in because of the snow. Darn. I would love to get in and take pictures. No luck today. There were a lot of interesting snow formations and and deep, and another Hansel and Gretel. Also, I have now kind of gotten interested plants sticking thru the snow. Here they come.

Another for Lena

Hopeful Sunrise

It is 400am, sunrise is 721, and sunset is almost 1100. So if I am to get anymore sunrise pictures, I have to set an alarm and get ready to go out. I am pretty sure that Ron wont go, which means that I have to think about going out alone. If there are pictures, I made, if not, I didn't.

I am heading to KC in May, may have to wait for sunrises and sunsets until I get back.

Good night all,
Bonnie

The end of the Spit in sight.



WE MADE IT ! The end of the Spit woo hoo !




We are still on track, breathing a sigh of relief




Teller in sight !




The weather was 29, no wind, all considering, a nice day out. Ron and I took a walk down the spit. It felt kind of creepy because nobody drives on the spit in the winter, so there are no tracks. You can tell where the edges of the water
