The Top 3 - Things I love about Yellowknife! :)

     I'm sure we all have a favorite place.. Somewhere we feel truly happy, somewhere that we could stay forever. My favorite place is Yellowknife and, to be honest, I love everything about it. But the three things that I love most are: 1. Most of my family is there, 2. It is winter for most of the year, and last but not least - I love Yellowknife because it is my home.
     To me, there is nothing more important than family. I'm happiest when I'm surrounded by family and in Yellowknife I have Granparents, aunties, uncles, cousins, a brother and sister, a stepmom, and most importantly my Dad. I look up to my Dad and I love being in Yellowknife because I get to be with him. It's hard to live in Penticton and be away from all of that but I love going there and being able to see everyone. I'm really close to my family, and th

     Winter is my favorite season. The second reason why I love Yellowknife is because for most of the year, it's winter! Not only is it longer, but there are also way more things to do in the winter then there are here. I love to go sledding, dogsledding, skating, driving on the ice road (it is more fun then it sounds, okay.), and snomobiling. It's way more fun there than it is here because you don't have to go up to the ski hills to go snowmobiling, you can just drive it downtown like a car if you want :) I also love going to Caribou Carnival, the snow king castle, and watching the northern lights. Winters in Yellowknife are a lot different than they are in Penticton. There is WAY more snow and it's dryer, like crystals. There also isn't a whole lot of daylight.. Only about 6 hours each day. In the winter, Yellowknife is the most beautiful place in the world and I wouldn't want to go anywhere but there.
     The third reason why I love Yellowknife is because it's my home. I was born there, and I lived there for most of my life.. I love walking down the streets and everything being so familiar to me. Things there are much different than they are here and when I'm there I feel like I'm in the right place. I've lived in lots of different places since I moved away, and I have never loved any of them as much as I love Yellowknife. I belong in there, and that's why it's my favorite place in the world! :)
