Nick in a Tutu

Here we are at the Travel Lodge in Edmonton wondering how we went from looking out at ocean to looking out at Car dealerships. hmmmm........

Sunday before we left Vancouver Island we went on a walk along the ocean, and it is probably among the most beautiful walks I have ever had in my life. We started on a regular old path, then we moved to rocky beach, then we were in a hidden green area that reminded me of the book "The Secret Garden". From there we found ourselves among tall cedars and at the end we came out on a mountain spring that we dipped our fingers and toes into (very very chilly!!)


We flew into Edmonton on Monday afternoon. We are playing at the St. Albert International Children's Festival. What an amazing festival this is. We have met performers from all over the world- from Peru to Germany and right back to Quebec City. We are doing 3 shows a day on the outdoor stage (which is sometimes very very very hot..) But we are having a great time and are meeting so many families.....
9 shows to go and then we are flying home.wheeeee.

We got the chance to see a Rick Scott and the Pied Pumkids show yesterday. Rick Scott is a Canadian Icon, with 15 albums released and many many awards for his music. Their show was fantastic - we left feeling completly inspired.....

We have also had the chance to meet many other performers from across the world.
Nick was invited up on-stage by a fellow performer and then asked to do ballet. As you can imagine he was quite the hit.

These are our friends Ramblin Roy and his trusty sidekick Bucky

Here's our very tall friend Nikolai... those are some large pants

We are really looking forward to the rest of the festival.. it is certainly world class.

We will post some more pictures throughout the week. We are looking forward to coming home and performing at the Perth Studio Theatre next weekend.

Hope you are doing well and we can see you soon!

We would love to hear from you.

Love,

Taes and Nick
