It's DORA!!

Yesterday Nana and I took Collin and Brantlee to see Nick Jr. Live in Jackson. I knew nothing of this event until a friend on Facebook posted that she needed to sell her tickets. I immediately jumped on this opportunity! The show featured the Wonder Pets, Backyardigans, Ni- Hao, and of course .... DORA. How could we miss this?? Is was a really great show!!

Collin was mesmerized for the entire performance -well worth the time and money to see his little face in awe for an hour and a half. Brantlee missed her nap (which is usually close to 3 hours), and we had to stay seated in a crowded theatre. She did as well as she could (she really tried), but that was honestly asking a lot of Miss Brantlee. She did like the Dora part though. Photography during the show was not allowed, so I did my best to contain myself (even though nobody else followed that rule.) But when Dora came out, I just couldn't help it. I jerked out my camera and snapped away... and so did everyone else.

Just for memory's sake, we loaded into the Yukon all excited to leave the house and go meet Nana, and guess what. The car wouldn't start. Dead battery. That's a bad feeling when you have two dressed and excited kids already in their car seats. Soooo, Nana graciously met us at our house and we took her car. Whew! Collin was almost in tears because he thought we weren't going to get to go. Ahh, the memories...

Killing time waiting on Nana to pick us up.

In front of Thalia Mara Hall

Right when we walked in there was this booth of all kinds of character toys, shirts, etc. We ended up with two swirly wand things that light up in the dark.

And here she... the real DORA ;) Oh, and Boots, of course !

Swiper NO swiping!!

the finale with all the characters

Overall, we give this show two thumbs up!!! We hope to go back next year when they are both a little older.
