Way Back Machine: The Wiggles Live!

One year ago, today, we went to see the Wiggles in concert with our dear freighbors. How do I remember the exact date, you wonder? Because for months leading up to the glorious event, we talked about the seeing the Wiggles on August 20th. Itty-bitty-not-quite-two-and-a-half Violet would spout off that date like she was an expert of the Julian calendar. We left Linus behind with Grandma and Grandpa and trotted off to the Patriot Center for some Wiggly fun. I never posted these a year ago. Please allow me to travel back in time for un momentito.

Amelie, just 36 hours after her diagnosis of pneumonia, was given Motrin so as not to miss the much-anticipated Wiggles. We had bagels for dinner at a Panera near the concert venue.

Here's our group, minus the photographer.

Amelie patiently awaits the beginning of the concert while Violet clings for dear life to Daddy.

Amelie is getting excited! Violet is still nervous!

Amelie and Willie are REALLY ready!

So excited they can't even stand it!

We finished off the evening with a stop at Dairy Queen. Even though Violet spent most of the concert buried in her Daddy's neck, she still talks about it. We've watched hours of the Wiggles since then. Thank you, Lord, for the Netflix Watch Instantly feature that's also connected to Tivo. We're so technologically spoiled!

I so wanted to do this when Jason was a Wiggles freak years ago but we had bad timing and then none of my other kids have really liked them! Maybe Jill will...and I agree with the TiVo spoiling, I can't imagine life without it!
