Yo Gabba Gabba

Going to a show targeted towards kids is awesome.  We totally blend in with the 'average' crowd.  For once, my somewhat ill-behaved children aren't the worst in the room.  You can talk as much as you want, jump on the seats as much as you want and kick the back of the seats as much as you want...money well spent I tell you.

Maddie had a shaky start. Shocker. Actually, to be fair a lot of kids were totally overwhelmed.

But after the intermission a switch was flipped and she unglued herself from my lap and started running up and down the aisle, dancing, clapping and overall just participating. That truly was a shocker.

Allie followed big sis around.  And while they were about 5 rows in front of us I saw a giant carrot headed their way.  And I knew Allie was going to freak.  And she did.  And Kip and I thought it was hilarious (this was the only time during the show that we didn't hear her asking to pet the characters) but she recovered quickly.


And just for a fun mental picture:  The family of four in front of us had two boys and a mom and dad who could care less whether their kids liked the show.  They were dancing, clapping, singing out loud, and taking video and pictures of each other.  They were seriously the happiest couple ever. Very cute.

So so cute. Glad Mads stayed true to form, and found her inner spunk. And I don't blame Al, I would run from a big giant carrot too.

WHY didn't you get a picture of giant carrot? Darn. Love the happy couple. Brad Pitt dressed as one of the characters from that show for Halloween a few years ago. Do you think happy couple was him and Angie? I guess not, with only 2 kids...

Seriously, Maddie's outfit TDF! So cute those girls of yours. And Allie is a mini Cara. When we went to Disneyland for the first time with our grandparents (I think we were like 5 & 6), Cara screamed bloody murder every time a character came near her. All of our pictures from that trip are of me with a character, and Cara hiding behind Grandma Gay. :)
