Saturday - what a day!
We began the day with another 3 hours of massive crowds
of Frederictonion's (no such word, I know!) enjoying all these
amazing young people.
Nicholas with his amazing silver medal - job well done!
Science work stations for the public and the finalists - lots of cool booths.
These are two of the major award winners - yup - grade 9/10 . . .
Grade 12 - over $100,000 in scholarship and cash (and a patent) - CRAZY!!

Beautiful old homes - beautifully maintained.
Packing up THE dish for shipping. Every tool carefully packed and accounted for.
BRAVO Dylan - you took such good care of every bit.
After we took down the projects, we chilled out downtown looking at some
spectacular architecture - government building.

THE BIG, FANCY day!
Today was a very big day! School tours in the morning, lunch, change and get ready for the big awards ceremony.
Being piped into the hall.
Our very special, wonderful guest -
Ivie's dad all the way from Nelson, Leif Luttmer.
It was so great to have him here and he was so lovely with all the kids.
Thanks Leif for the books (they loved them)
I know you won't like this one Ivie but it is soooo funny!
. . . . and now for the dance . . . .
truly, it is never-ending!
Nicholas had tons of fun at the dance -
except for the odd refreshment,
I am pretty sure he never left the action!
Recently crowned . . .
and then Ivie at her fiercest!

Sharing what we know with OTHERS . . . .
We started the day with unBELIEVABLE science classes
at the university - everyone did different things.
Ivie on her way to Forestry and Geology -
This is nano gold - no kidding. Part of a nanotechnology
session I participated in.
Then a chemistry lab.
Today is one of three days we shared our projects with the public
