Fruit Salad Yummy, Yummy

Well, it was a Wiggle extravaganza tonight with the girls as we took in the 6:30 show at the HP Pavillion.

We left home about 4pm armed with roses for Dorothy, signs proclaiming our love for the Wiggles and Dad dressed in a Murray Wiggle shirt. Wiggles Live, "Hot Potatos" was playing in the car the whole way to San Jose and the girls were fired up. After a quick dinner at the Tied House, where both girls were too excited to eat, it was off the to big show.

Since La Nina remembers seeing them last year, she was quite clear on the concept of Wiggle Concert. She was even calling for the Wiggles before the show. The Magster, a little unclear on the concert concept, happily munched Gold Fish while we waited in our seats. However, once the Wiggles came out in their Big Red Car, Maggie tossed the food bag aside and started squealing like a Beatles fan from the 60s. Both girls danced and boogied through most of the show. Maggie lost some steam about 7:30, her usual bedtime, but she never lost interest in the show.

Both girls absolutely loved seeing the Wiggles Live. Some memorable moments: Maggie pointing at the real Murray Wiggle as he ran by and posed for a picture with Dad, La Nina dancing to "Monkeys, Elephants and Tigers" song, Maggie refusing to hand over her rose to the Wiggle Dancer as she came by, La Nina calling for Jeff when he was lost.

You never know how these sort of concerts are going to go with two little kids, but I am happy to report the evening went off without a hitch and we had a delightful time.
