Indy Does a Few Chores Around Grandma's Farm

 Indy made a trip to Grandma's house to help her out with a few chores.  Aunt D was there with her puppy as well.  Indy was busy, but she made time to pose for a picture.

While Indy was helping Grandma and Aunt D were doing their choses.  Daddy was helping out to take the wheat off. 
Indy found out that the neighbour had a new combine and she wanted a ride to check it out.
 
I guess Daddy wated wanted to check it out too...   
Off we go with Indy at the controls with a help from the GPS and the neighbour!

 Mommy had to go to Halifax for a day for work so we decided to turn it into a mini family vacation.  We were fortunate to spend quite a lot of time on the boardwalk watching the boats, and loons and buskers.   
 Indy was working on her own breakdancing skills here.  It was pretty phenominal.

 She also was working on her camera skills....above is one she took of Mommy and Daddy.....

We took a tour of Halifax and the harbour on the "Harbour Hopper".  This is a LARK V, which turns from a road vehicle into a boat....kind of awesome.  We had a great time and learned some of the history of Halifax.  We also learned later that it is Harbour Hopper custom to tell tourists fake Halifax facts....so now we are not 100% sure how much we learned, but we still had fun!


On Sunday we decided to take a drive a long the coast and then upto the Pictou Lobster Carnival.  It was about a four hour drive so we stopped at whatever sounded fun along the way.  Here we are at Calm Harbour Beach trying to outrun the waves :)

And playing in the sand :)

Our next stop was lunch, we pulled over in Sheet Harbour because they had a "waterfall"...for those of you who have seen Niagara Falls, you will most likely find this as lackluster as we did...but it was pretty.
 Then off to Pictou, for a merry-go-round ride and some ice cream before hitting the lobster supper.


We had amazing day, and an amazing mini vacation, but we are happy to be home.
