Yo Gabba Gabba Live!

As most of you with small children in the house know, Yo Gabba Gabba is a favorite amongst pre-schoolers. Izzy has been an avid fan for as long as we can remember. This show is on the Nickelodeon Junior channel (geared towards pre-schoolers) and is similar to Sesame Street in that it teaches kids good life lessons (don't throw things at friends, eat your veggies, hugging friends is nice, pick up your trash, etc.). Well this past weekend we went up to Mike's dad's house to go to see Yo Gabba Gabba live in concert!!! We were a bit nervous, as we'd never taken Izzy to a movie before. However, we prepared her for weeks and she was excited to go to the show. So excited, in fact, that she didn't nap before the show. That posed a small problem, as you'll see in some of the early photos.

Family picture before we left for the show. A HUGE thank you to Grandma Laura for making the girls' Foofa shirts...they were a bit hit!

So excited it was starting...

Here comes DJ Lance Rock!

After an explosion of confetti...Izzy was scared!

The whole crew arrived and the partying began

Super Music Friend Show special guests: The Aquabats! They sang their special song "Pool Party"

And now Izzy is all warmed up; dancing in the aisles!

Delaney took her 3rd nap of the day during the show...couldn't believe she could sleep through all of the singing and music

Song about friends & balloons...they did a huge balloon drop from the ceiling and everyone loved it!

Biz Markie came to do "Biz's Beat of the Day" and the crowd went WILD. Seriously. I was a huge fan of his in 7th grade. And here I was, watching him try to get 3 year olds to rap. Awesome. If you want to see his rap...you can watch it here:

This is was a nap-less 2.5 year old looks like during INTERMISSION. Um, you can't rile hundreds of pre-schoolers up and then take an intermission. Bad move.

"Party in my Tummy" song...the veggies want to party...

And she's up!

We had so much fun. I shamelessly knew the words to every song and danced as much as I could with a sleeping baby on me. Laura kept looking at me like, "You really like this?!" Hey, when your toddler lives, eats and breathes Yo Gabba Gabba...you learn to love it :) Thanks to Bob & Laura for a very fun day...which ended at the Ft. Wayne Coney Island. Yummmmm. There was a party in my tummy for sure!
