What a Show!!! We had a great time. Sesame Street Live is currently on tour visiting various military bases across the country. The show itself was about 30 minutes which was perfect. Grover, Elmo, Zoe, Cookie Monster and Rosita all sang and danced and interacted with the crowd. They did a fantastic job. The show was geared toward preparing kids for deployment and then homecomings. Tickets were free... just the right price for a family of five. When you walked into the theater all of the kids were given a light up Elmo toy (kind of like a circus toy), stickers and candy. Then on top of that every family was able to pick out a DVD to take home. Both Thomas and I were really impressed. It was a small to medium sized theater that hosted the event. Characters came down into the audience to hug and love on the kids. All of the characters couldn't have been any better. They were amazing to all of their fans. We got there early, so we had front row seats which was incredible. Military security was up front to protect the kids from the hot light bulbs and even those guys were kind to all the kids. It was awesome to see these kids get so excited and then see these giant military security folks be so gentle and sweet with them. Some of the kids just snuggled right up to the security folks like they were related. It was really funny... just so innocently sweet. Will and Josh really enjoyed the show. Will remained glued to his chair. He was not quite ready to fight the crowds for a hug from Elmo. Jessie enjoyed the parts of the show that she did see. For alot of the show, she had her face buried in Thomas' chest. After all, this is the child who will tell everyone that she does not like Santa Claus because he is too scary. I am hoping that will change this year:)
