Today we are going to see Yo Gabba Gabba Live! We are so excited.
Back in August the whole gang was visiting the San Francisco Zoo
A Photo Op to promote the upcoming show. We decided to bring the kids for a preview.
Luckily you could go right up to where the Gang was hanging out and watch as each family got to meet there favorite characters
But if you wanted to meet them in person and get that photo you had to wait in line,
A line that was 2.5 hours long. We contemplated whether or not we should wait in it at all.
But in the end we did. We actually took turns, Dad's or Mom's or even Tanta's each taking a turn
Saving our place so that the rest of us could hang out and be groupies.
It was great to have the wagon for the girls, as it was a long day and they were easily tired.
Holly is afraid of the Easter Bunny and Santa so I wanted to be sure she wasn't afraid of the Gabba Characters.
For the most part she was not. For hours she watched them, and tried to get to them
Several times trying to sneak through the rope to say hello to them.
When it was her turn she was tentative, a little nervous but very excited.
She was super happy, though I think had she been with Mommy it would have been better.
Mommy wanted to take the pictures though, because by the time it was our turn they decided to limit the visits and photos
We suddenly had to be really fast and each family didn't have time for different poses, as each before us had. This made me unhappy.
But I was determined to get good pictures of everyone, so I let Tanta Kat take Holly up to the group.
Then it was Chloe's turn to say hello. They were smart and Eric took her to meet each character and say hello before they posed.
I was excited we got to take our photo with Toodee, the character's were rotating every 15 minutes.
Here is Mira and family, they were so cute and had a great pose.
Then we tried to do a group picture. At this point everything got a little touchy.
I talked them into allowing us to do a group shot with all three of the girls, but we were being super rushed and Holly could sense the anxiety.
She got upset and cried and was tired and ready to go. But for the most part she did amazing and I knew she would be fine when it was time to go to the show.
After our pictures we walked around the zoo, but just for a little while
Taking the long way towards the exit to visit a few animals.
Holly by this time was ready to get a Mommy ride and didn't want to walk.
We saw birds, she liked those a lot.
We took turns with Tanta Kat holding her and even putting her in the stroller, but she wanted Mommy only.
I think she really enjoyed our stop to visit the Monkeys they were silly and she could hear them chatting.
We found our way to the Carousel so we decided to take a ride.
We didn't realize it, but this bird didn't go up and down, so Holly was not excited about her first ride.
Chloe got to ride with her Daddy, she was very excited about that.
We decided to go again, this time we made sure Holly was on a better animal.
She had much more fun. Mommy got to ride too so I could get some good non blurry pictures.
One might wonder where Daddy was in all of this.
He was in fact visiting Florida at the time for Uncle Alan's Wedding Reception, Party.
We were happy to find a fun activity to distract Holly from Missing Daddy. Though we were sad he couldn't join us.
I was so Happy to have Tanta Kat's help this weekend, it was so great to have her at the zoo too, she helped watch the girls a lot and made all the difference.
Kathy reported that for weeks after our trip, Chloe talked about how she met Muno and Foofa.
Mira's favorite Character is Plex.
We were very lucky to see Toodee Holly was asking for her all day and I was worried she would be resting when our turn came.
I know today will be a great day at the show. I have been practicing getting Holly to sit and watch, i am afraid she will want to run up to the stage during the show.
But after the show we have back Stage Passes, we get to meet the crew in person again
We get a special Buzz's beat fo the Day, and snacks and more pictures.
I am hoping it will be a much more relaxed environment, then was the one at the zoo, allowing her to approach her friends slowly on her terms.
Hopefully it won't take me several months to post the pictures as it did this time,
But eventually I will post them. We had a great visit to the zoo
It is too bad we didn't see more animals. We were in line near the lions, but they weren't feeding in the viewing room, as it was a sunday,
She enjoyed the animals we did see, and I liked that there were no hills like at the Oakland zoo.
We definately plan to make a trip back to this zoo again when Daddy is home and can join us.
I know it has only been three months, but Holly is already more interested in animals then she was at this time.
This is the classic end of the day shot, usually we have Daddy passed out in the back, but you can bet Tanta Kat was just as tired.
