Tania's first time in NB


So we are back on tour - this week we will spend our time in Sackville  NB, yes that is right in sweet old NB... It's kinda exciting to me because I have never been in Sacville and even more exciting for our new girl Tania who has never even been in NB - she is very excited to say the least, hence the title of this blog. 

Now I must admit I am not the "best" with computers and because this "fall time change" has really got me all messed up I am too tired to figure out how to put this photos in the right order so I will explain them in reverse order.


These first two photos are from the last workshop of the day. We went to the local curling club and taught a wonderful group of little ladies who seemed to have a great time. Unfortunately my allergies and asthma don't allow me to hang out in environments such as Frenchys, musty rooms, mildewy spaces and old buildings like the Sackville curling club, I lasted about a half hour and then had to leave so I could pass out in the van and start to breath normally. No worries though because the rest of Mocean suffered through it and prevailed. By the end of the workshop there was 12 smiling little girls which was wonderful. 








Now this last photo and the next few that follow are almost the highlight of our day - don't get me wrong the workshops and performance were great and the kids were sweet but we found this playground and thought it was unreal. I don't know about you but when I went to school we didn't have mini zip-lines on our playground - woap woap - it was so wicked fun.... Sa (Sarah Rozee) was the star and we now know where her little Sophie gets her monkey skills from. 
I am pretty sure these photos explain everything and I don't need to add anything, except I will take this time to say that solo shot of me on the zip-line is actually way cooler then it looks and I am really doing some fancy trick with my leg and I am not actually just scared. 











These next two photos are from our first workshop of the day - we had three workshops and one demo today. The kids at this school were great!!!!! They were sweet, energetic and extremely creative. What a treat. 


















So I know I said earlier that the playground was almost the highlight of our day and I am assuming you are wondering what the "actual" highlight was..... Well today on our hour break we drove to Dorchester to see the penitentiary. CC told us that it was maximum security or something. Anyway I highly recommend driving by it if your ever in the area! It was crazy cool. We couldn't get too close because apparently only authorized vehicles  are allowed up the driveway and also your not allowed to smoke, have cell phones or video cameras on their site. Anyway it was awesome!!!! and the town was really interesting. 

Now my friends it is time for me to run off too bed and finish watching the election!!! fingers crossed. I will also address the fact that this entire paragraph is underlined. Actually you can choose one of two options, 1 - either I thought it was extremely important or 2 - somehow the underline got turned on at the bottom and I have no idea how to fix it.

Good night and sleep tight!
