We’d heard from a few different sources that the St. Albert (a small community north of Edmonton) Children’s Festival was definitely worth the admission and drive, so last Friday we headed up for the morning. We almost went to one of the main shows, but instead settled for simply exploring the festival at large, and visiting the Telus Toddler Town, figuring that Belle’s attention span might not last for one of the larger shows. It seems like we made the right decision, because she only lasted half the puppet show that was happening in Toddler Town , though the rubber ball and crafts areas held her attention for the rest of the show. Also to be found at the festival were playgrounds, kettle corn, stilt walkers and mini-donuts, so we all had a great time exploring and eating. We also checked out a bridge that one of the Canadian Forces Engineering units set up specifically for the show, as well as the muskrat that happened to be swimming under it as we crossed. It was a great morning of entertainment and terribly delicious snacks.
