Today we attended the Festival of Trees. It seemed strange to go there without either of our girls. For years we were there because the girls were dancing; the trees were a bonus. Last year, I was the performer and my girls watched me - a reversal in roles. Today four of us from our adult class put on our tap shoes and a smile then walked out onto the little stage, praying that we didn't screw up in front of all those people. It went okay although the stage surface was rather strange (rough, with lots of seams). With that out of the way we walked around and enjoyed the wonderful display of decorated trees and wreaths. My favorite used peacock feathers as its focus point. Of course, there was a Boise State Broncos tree and a couple of wreaths all decked out in orange and blue. We also managed the catch the "dolls come to life" entertainment when actors play the part of dolls representing fairy tales and other stories. This year they had the evil queen, Hansel and Gretel, Queen of Hearts, fairy godmother, Noah, Cinderella, and Merlin & Arthur with Excalibur. We spent 3-4 hours total there, soaking it all in. I think I'm ready to go buy our tree now.
