Family Fun Day

As you already know, Mikey has a passion for transportation vehicles--mostly trucks and trains. His next favorite passion would be ELMO! Daddy went online in December and saw that Sesame Street Live was coming to the Boston area and we snatched up three tickets immediately!

So on the morning of Saturday, January 29, 2011 we ventured to Lowell, Massachusetts for the 10:30 show of Sesame Street Live. What an experience! When the characters first came out, I thought Mikey's heart was going to leap outside his chest! It was POUNDING! As the show progressed be got more and more into it---pointing, waving, identifying the characters, etc. He did a great job sitting through the hour and half show (with an intermission!). He bounced between both Mommy and Daddy's laps and even danced a few times! Mommy and Daddy were surprised at how many song tunes they recognized but with different words! It was definitely entertaining for the whole family.

Following the show, we grabbed some lunch and then ventured to Boston for the Yankee Dental Convention held at the new convention center. Daddy was so proud to show us all the different vendors and cool things he uses as a part of his dental profession. Mikey even scored a new toothbrush and toothbrush holder as well as a cup, pencil and lanyard from the US Navy booth. Another highlight of the conference was the bus we had to take from the parking lot to the convention center. Mikey was overjoyed to ride the bus three times---we accidentally got on the wrong bus going back to the car, so he got a free ride which he didn't complain about! What a busy day!
