Touring the Campus (x 2)


We had an interesting day today touring the Nova Scotia Agriculture College in the morning. We learned about everything from salmon farming to composting to potato DNA and more. Some students and Nicole were even at a station where they got to see inside a live cow! I'll post some pictures of that on the Flickr site . In the afternoon students were treated to some special workshops at NSCC where we are staying in the dorms. Most found them pretty neat as well! This evening we took a bit of a walk after dinner and the kids had fun blowing bubbles and chatting along the way (see photo above). We were treated to two great performances tonight. One was an Acadian duo - Chuck and Albert, and the other was a hypnotist. Both acts were really fantastic and we had a lot of laughs during their performances. Now it's off to bed before judging begins tomorrow. Nobody seems really nervous, which is good to see. It's a treat to be with such easy-going, well-behaved kids. Thank you to the parents for sharing them with us this week!

Hi Tracy,
Happy Anniversary!! I hope that you are having a wonderful day touring around seeing things. Your dad is working this afternoon and evening driving truck, so that is how he is celebrating his birthday.
Love
Mom
