Sunday - Jennifer's Shower

Had a bit of an easy morning and then John drove us into Halifax for a Bridal shower.  Tom stayed at home as he wanted to go for a walk and chill out.  I don't think that was a bad idea as a shower is no place for a chap, although John stuck around for a while and took some photos because everyone was pleased to see him.  Cynthia was the hostess with the mostess as usual.  Anne Marie made a fab cake and we talked a bit about how she had gone about that.  It was a spice cake and it was really delicious!  Sticking to a diet here is mission impossible!  It was fun, there were games and things and it was nice to see people I haven't seen since Shelley's Wedding or even my shower before!  Hard for me to remember who everyone is though I must admit. Steve, Holly and the kids arrived (shocking how much the kids have grown up) and so the boys all went off into Halifax to escape the shower and have a bit of an adventure.  They all had a go on the ferry and were allowed to go up into the bridge (I suppose you'd call it) and watch the ferry steered across the harbour.  Pretty cool.

After the shower we went to a Chinese restaurant with Steve, Holly and the kids.  Chinese food here isn't as nice as at home.  It was OK though but John and I both felt a bit bloated afterwards.  Deep fried stuff I suppose, more diet friendly food... not!

When we got home we settled in for the evening.  Tom had been for a long walk and John plotted it out on the Google Pedometer and he had walked the best part of 10 miles!  Wow!!!!
