The latest craze...

Last sunday, Nick bought these cool stilt thingys to church that he got earlier in the week. They're mad - I've seen street performers on these type of things before and you can do all sorts of tricks on them. They're specially designed for jumping and stuff like that. You can get some height on them too. Eddie has a pair as well and ran/jumped on them all the way from his place to our cell group at the Horwoods on tuesday night!
Anyway, on sunday, Nick let me have a go at them! I'm not the most balanced person in the world, but the results could have been much more embaressing - at least I could stand upright on them with Justin's help, and I didn't actually fall over, although I was close at one stage (thank goodness I was standing near the pole!).
I can't stand up on my own, but I could walk around for a bit with Justin's help. It looked more like we were dancing though! They're kinda heavy to lift up properly too, so that made it a bit hard. But they're fun! It would be awesome to get the hang of!
As Naomi requested, here's a picture of me on the bizaare things! I have a little video, but I don't know how to put that on, and the other pic Liv got is of me almost falling over, so this is all you get! :)



It just goes to show how short I really am though, seeing as I'm on stilts and still don't actually look that tall! :(

They're very cool, but I don't know how the guys can walk around on them by themselves though!

PiRaTeS oF tHe CaRiBbEaN 3!





Last weekend, we went to Orange to see 'Pirates of the Caribbean: At world's end'. Was very amusing! It was a little long, and I'm sad to say, not as good as the second one, but still worth the money! Jack's entrance onto the screen was very amusing! There's not as many laugh out loud bits (except we were in hysterics when Jack swaggered on!), but the action sequences are cool. It starts off a bit dark and depressing (definately not a little kid's movie!), and the actual plot is a little hard to follow, but I still loved it. It'll definately be joining my DVD collecting!

GO SEE IT!! :)
