Back from Halifax

On about Tuesday Jeannette and I decided that we would make a quick trip to Halifax on Thursday to visit Neil and Rebecca and a few friends.

After dropping Jeannette off at a work function, Neil and I met up with Jess and attended a Royal Nova Scotia International Tattoo lunchtime performance at the Keshen Goodman Public Library. Once we arrived we figured out that we would be seeing a 'gym wheel' performance. Eventually it became clear that we would also likely be seeing a Jeep team.

Though the gym wheel performance wasn't particularly long, it was quite impressive.

The Jeep team performance was a little strange. All the team did was disassemble and then re-assemble a Jeep. Given that it was a stripped down Jeep and they were well practiced the team was able to do the deconstruction and reconstruction in just a few minutes.

After some math stuff on Friday morning all four of us meet a few more friends and went out for dinner and then a movie.

This morning, just before heading to Wolfville, we stopped by another friend's house and picked up a futon mattress (for the futon frame I built a few weeks ago).

It was a pretty eventful three days.

I'd still have to go with the French Firefighters and their ladder routine. If these girls could handle the big wheels coming down the hill in Vassar's Cork Pine Days parade, that might be a different story.
