With only a few minutes to catch our breath at the end of a crazy, but ridiculously fun few weeks, we wanted to share a few stories from our most recent adventures before diving into the new month. September was full of many ups, downs, twists and turns – onstage and off! And, while receiving a Western Canadian Music Award was definitely a cherry on the top of a great month, we also had many memorable live performances over the last few weeks!
Of most recent note was a quick trip to Vancouver Island where we began our adventures in Port Hardy at the community’s annual Early Learning and Literacy Fair. This fantastic event featured great local entertainment with music, dance and storytelling and a host of wonderful community resources for wee ones and their families. The trip also brought to surface a little nostalgia for Lolo who actually lived in Port Hardy during her own early school years!

Following our performance in Port Hardy, we drove straight to Nanaimo for a few hugs and hellos with family before continuing onto Victoria for the Vancouver Island Baby Fair. For those of you unfamiliar with the island, we ended up covering around 1000km in two days! Have we mentioned that we LOVE our new mini-van? Needless to say, with all the driving, three shows and two ferry trips, we expected to be a little tired, but the great energy at the Baby Fair was a perfect way to boost our spirits. Thanks to all the families who joined us for the musical adventures! We hope to be back on the “rock” again soon!
Another highlight from the last month was an opportunity to write our very first guest blog! We wrote a short post for Survival4Moms.com titled “Musical Adventures for Learning, Laughter and Life”. If you missed the link on our Facebook Group or Twitter, please check it out here.
We also had a fantastic time during our shows at the Pacific National Exhibition (PNE), Party at the Pier and the Langley Country Celebrations. Please take a peek at the video below for a glimpse into our wonderful world of kiddie mosh pits, bubble madness and toddler dance-a-thons. These clips are from a number of shows over the past summer. We really do have one of the best jobs ever!
We hope some of you can join us for one of our upcoming shows!
