Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car

If you recited the rest of the line in your head after reading the title, you can probably imagine the fun time we had this weekend! Nana Cornett got us tickets to see the WIGGLES! We went with Nana, Aunt Shasta with Braden, Kaelynn, and Makenna, and Aunt Shawnte' and her neice Ella Morton. We were all super excited to see the kids' reaction, especially Breck who is an avid Wiggles fan! But I should probably be honest... I think I was even more excited than Breck! I really enjoy the Wiggles, and their tunes are hypnotizingly catchy! When Uncle Jehkiah stayed with us a couple weeks ago, he commented on the fact that once the kids were asleep, the Wiggles movie wasn't turned off! Well we weren't done watching it! :) Anyway, so there we were all excited, and SOOO close to the front, and there they were... Big Red Car and all! Breck was absolutely stunned! It took him about a half hour before he even moved. He sat there staring at them with his mouth open and all! Like I said, completely stunned! Sienna actually danced a bit before zonking out and sleeping the rest of the time. Once Breck started breathing again, he seemed to really enjoy himself, and by the end, he was dancing along with everyone else! Like any other concert, it was so weird to actually see someone who you are used to seeing in pictures or through the TV screen in person! We were so close to them too that they weren't just specks, we could clearly see them and their faces! What a great time! We once again though, really wished Daddy could have been there, he really would have had a blast too! After the concert, we let the kids play around in a fountain outside the performing arts center to cool off. We intended on them just dipping their feet in, next thing we know, Braden was playing scuba diver, and guess who wanted in on the fun? Of course, the Breckster. Breck wasn't quite as brave as Braden was and only got in up to his chest. So, needless to say, he had a wet trip home. Luckily it was about 100 degrees, and he was only slightly damp by the time we made it to the car!

The kids of our group: Makenna, Braden, Breck, Kaelynn, Ella, and Sienna. Poor Ella got stuck on Sienna patrol, making sure she stayed in the picture. She did a good job regardless of Sienna's determination to get away!

Looks like a lot of fun for Breck! I'm glad that you have been able to enjoy time with you family while Josten is gone, it probably makes the time go by faster.
