Whistler Kids Art Festival


Eli took the drumming workshop, Michela photography



The teacher was so enthusiastic that after 90 minutes of practice, we took the show on the road and panhandled the festival...

Now Eli has some poker money!

A toast to John and Judy @ Whistler

Enjoying the later afternoon air out on the deck



The kids made appetizers: saltines, cheese and gummy bears = a well balanced meal (all the major food groups)

Thanks for your hospitality!

Before... and after

Whistler is full of action spork junkies. Think X-Games without all the skill.

We watched guys huck the big air inthe terrain park...:



And also noticed how many people we saw looking like this chap, bandaged, bruised, limping or worse...




We chose to watch and then walk the village
