The long awaited day finally arrived...Emily's beloved Wiggles in concert in Miami. Off we went on a four-hour drive, to see the kids group Emily has watched non-stop over since we brought her home 15 months ago. Can you believe it's been that long??
The photos are blurry from all the excitement, sorry. Just before the concert Emily sat in her seat, alternately gazing at the stage, bouncing up and down yelling "WEE WEE!!", and pointing at any kids wearing Wiggles shirts and exclaiming "Wee Wee!" At this point she still thought she was going to see a video!
Finally, the Wiggley dancers opened the show. When the Big Red Car rolled onto the stage with the Wiggles singing "Toot Toot Chugga Chugga Big Red Car", Emily alternated between singing, dancing and staring open mouthed at her idols.
The Wiggles put on a great show. The guys joked with each other, caught hats on their heads from across the stage, and ran through the audience waving at the kids. At one point, they turned the lights off, instructed parents to open their cell phones and hold them up. They then softly sang "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" while the blue light from hundreds of cell phones created a soft glow of tiny stars. Emily sang along with them.
The next day we visited Butterfly World in Pompano Beach. What a gorgeous collection of butterflies and birds. Take a look.
Next time, a few Thanksgiving photos...
Take care,
Caroline
