Adventure continued...

Well, I'll never remember everything. So in short, the food was great, we surprised Mom and Dad, then went to Annette's for BBQ. That night, it was July 1st so we went to the Downtown Dartmouth waterfront for the fireworks. They were very good fireworks, probably the best I had ever seen in Halifax. The wind was blowing towards us and everyone got covered with "shrapnel". Dust and bits of the fireworks sometimes fairly large, fell upon us from the sky.


Sunday, hmm, I don't remember too much what we did on Sunday. I guess we probably hung out at Michelle and Annettes, played Kick the Can late at night.

Monday we went out to see Darlene's Mom. She was in better shape than I thought. After that the boys and I took off to Queensland Beach while Darlene spent more time with her family and visited her niece. The beach was great, the water was surprisingly warmer than expected. On the way home of course we had to have another adventure. I was driving Dad's truck and the brakes went out. Ended up having to drive the last few miles with the emergency brake and the transmission. Not recommended!

That night we must have ended back up and Michelles where the kids had another game of kick the can. I think they also had their street basketball game this night, yes, I'm pretty sure of that.

Tuesday we went to Dale's again, the boys rode the 4-wheeler some. Got some pictures and on the way back we stopped at the Harley dealership in Halifax to lighten our wallet. We ate out that night, the restuarant we wanted to eat at was closed for renovations. After that we visited our old stomping grounds, checked out our old house and actually chatted up the homeowner and got a tour. A lot of what we did is still in place and still in good shape 10-12 years later.
On the way out we visited Donna, Rick was not home.

More later....
