A Night of Fun.

A local group actors recently put on a play about the history of our town. The T's where part of the group with Mr.T playing several roles and Girl T playing several roles as well. Mrs T made all the costumes that needed making and fitted several of the rest. The cast and crew all put a TON of hours into the play and it showed.  They really put on a incredible play!! Who know the history of our small town could be so interesting :) I took J, L and E out to the play one of the two days they put the play on. They'd never been to a play and they TOTALLY ENJOYED it. I have too admit that they didn't know what to expect, and I didn't really try and tell them at all. I wanted them to be surprised and they were. They did seem to think NOTHING would ever happen as we 1st waited in line and then in our chairs, but when the play finally did start they were awestruck. 

The play consisted of a lot of short skits, several of them keeping a theme through out the play, starting with the natives and going through history to today. It was enlightening and entertaining. Funny, sad, it took you through all the emotions.

After the play they had a appy sort of thing with some of the local groups doing a small snack. There was at least 8 different ethic foods from different groups who've made our little town home. They were wonderful. I really liked the smoked salmon and some little pastries with veggies and meat in them. The kids like almost all of the foods but the favorite was probably the roll cuken and watermelon :) Good old Mennonite food :) 

They filmed the play several times and apparently there will be a movie of the play released. I'm looking forward to buying it and enjoying the play again. I also love that this fun play covers an amazing amount of history, socials, and native learning school outcomes. 

R and Baby J stayed home with Papa and R and Papa played with her new princess dolls, made cookies and had a great time :) The cookies had M&M's in them and they shared when we got home that night. It was a great night for us all.
