Sesame Street LIVE!

On Tuesday, June 21st we had tickets for Sesame Street Live: Elmo's Healthy Heroes. It was at HP Pavilion, which is very close to our house. We all wore a Sesame Street shirt, and Makena took her Elmo doll with her. We had AMAZING seats, thanks to my mom!!

The show was really cute, I totally cried when Bert and Ernie walked on to the stage to start it and Makena got so excited!!

They even had a few characters come down into the aisles, and that was fun!

Prairie Dawn came past Makena, and so did Grouchetta, but Makena was a little afraid of her. And Kay, the only "human" in the show (and the letter of the day, lol) stopped by to say hello to Makena for a bit, which I happened to get on video. I like how in this photo below you can see my hand holding the Flip video camera. We had an aisle seat, and it was great to let Makena have room to dance!

During intermission GrandMo bought Makena an Elmo balloon, and she also bought her a light up spinning toy. Oh, and also a program book that retells the story and has a poster, AND a cd of the show! Makena is one loved/spoiled little girl!!

She was completely entranced by the show, just starred at the stage the whole time, never once fussed to get down or needed anything to keep her happy. She just soaked up every minute of seeing her favorite show brought to life! We took turns sitting with her on our laps on the aisle seat.
The story was about Super Grover losing his "superness" and he couldn't fly. So Elmo, Telly, Abby and Zoe (and of course Rocco) become super heroes and help save the day. They find out that excercise, eating healthy foods, getting lots of rest and good hygiene can make anybody super. When Grover first tried to fly and fell down Makena said "oh no!" and then when we flew at the end she clapped and was excited. It was so cute how into it she was!

When it was over they shot off a lot of confetti cannons and all the kids were playing with the paper strings. We left and took one more look at the merchandise and some photos, then headed home for nap time!
We feel so thankful that my mom bought us tickets, because we knew Makena would have such an amazing time and there was no way we could justify buying tickets. Even the cheapest ones, at like $20 each, would've cost us $60 plus more for tax and fees.

So a HUGE THANK YOU to Makena's wonderful GrandMo! Makena still loves looking at the program book and saying "oh no!" to the picture of Super Grover. lol.
