So, Eric and Katie from the last tour either got a gigs with Stewart Lemoine or became Assistant Artistic Director of a theatre in Winnipeg and therefore moved back and bought a house, so they were understandably no longer with us on our Spring tour. So! Meet the new cast:

Chris Cook as the Kid

Eryn Lemiski as the Villains! (Shown here as Rocket Socket)

Photobucket

Here we are all together! As you can see, there were some changes made. I now wear a short, blonde wig because I didn't want to destroy my hair by dying it bleach blonde, and apparently the wig made me look older.

Photobucket

Happy in the Van!

Photobucket

Oh, the sites we've seen.

Photobucket

DUCKY!

Photobucket

A Chip without a Dale.

Photobucket

Muerte?! Ay caramba!

Photobucket

Nothing like a good ol' bottle o' death.

Photobucket

Chris is just one of those smiley kind of guys!

Photobucket

So smiley he fixes our set when it is broken. :/

Photobucket

This chair is grabbing my butt.

Photobucket

Eryn philosophizing. The missing piece is somewhere!

Photobucket

A little gem I found in one of the staff washrooms.

Photobucket

We spent a weekend in Banff!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Ha.

Photobucket

Calgary zoooooo.

Photobucket

There's so much you can learn when you're on a pachyderm!

Photobucket

Photobucket

Butterfly! WANT

Photobucket

Big trees! Tropical plants!

Photobucket

This butterfly was our friend. I had one land on me three times, but I never got a picture. :( So you get a picture of a butterfly on this young lady instead!

Photobucket

I'm still happy to be in the butterfly chamber anyway. And vain...? Myspace shot anyone? Haha.

Photobucket

Condor survival: do not play dead.

Photobucket

Prehistoric Park. Like Jurassic Park, only less copyright violation! And get this, it's full of....

Photobucket

DINOSAURS! This one is drinking my coffee. But I appear to be amused by this fact.

Photobucket

Eek!

Photobucket

Oh noes!

Photobucket

Pteradyl! Craaaah! (That's a pteradyl noise!)

Photobucket

Uh ohs...Deinonychus! "Terrible Claw"...or as you probably know them, Velociraptor! Much smaller than conveyed on Jurassic Park, but still frickin' scary! This one moved and sounded like the traditional 'saber tooth tiger' sound, haha.

Photobucket

Photobucket

Photobucket

Shhh......

Photobucket

Ready for a 'triple threat' dinosaur? (This was the one that was conveyed as spitting poison in Jurassic Park)

Photobucket

BAM!


......

Right now we are in Lethbridge, Alberta. I just came back from an adventure to find the Save On Foods. On the way, I encountered something beautiful. I wandered into a Petland I found and discovered a golden retriever puppy! He was very playful and cute. He reminded me of somebody I knew. I went up to him, and he was all alone in his cage. A trainer came and played with him, but then she left, and he looked at the closed door with the SADDEST brown eyes and helped and cried for attention. Dogs are social; they aren't really meant to live solitary lives, so this poor puppy probably had a lot of anxiety. I was standing by the window in the cage, and he looked at me with his big brown eyes, and he looked so lonely. It was heartbreaking I couldn't reach out and touch him.

BUT!

I saw three little girls adopting him on my way out! He was SO much happier! Just cuddled up in the mom/auntie's/female adult's arms, and he was much calmer. I have a good feeling about the family adopting him; I hope they take good care of him to the end of his days!

And now I venture to walk around the lake in Lethbridge...it's actually quite nice. Calm water.
