Our Wiggles Experience

Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

As I mentioned last week, we went to see The Wiggles in Memphis at the Cannon Center. I’ve finally gotten around to processing the pictures I took, and you can see them all here. The front row is a very picture friendly spot, though maybe not the best place for small kids.

When got to the Cannon Center, Liam had been cooped up in the car most of the day, and he decided that he was not going to be happy unless we let him crawl around. Luke was enjoying himself until he tripped and fell pretty hard. I think that threw him off the rest of the night.

Neither of the boys were as enthusiastic as we had hoped. They never took their eyes off the stage, but the big smiles we were expecting just weren’t there. Cassie and I have speculated as to the problem, but we really have no idea. Luke was dancing and singing to one of his Wiggles DVDs before we got out of the parking garage. It’s just one of those things I suppose.

All that said, we’d go back in a heartbeat. In fact, Cassie has already been trying to talk me into catching another stop on this tour. It’s probably not going to happen, but we’ll definitely see them if they come back to the US in a year or two.

We were under the impression that they would do mostly songs from their newest DVD. That had me a bit concerned, because they boys haven’t seen that one yet. As it turns out, they did maybe one song from their new DVD. the rest were old favorites.

Yesterday evening, Cassie, the boys, and I got back from five days in Gulfport and New Orleans. The primary purpose of the trip was to attend the wedding of my first cousin, but we threw in a few extra days for pleasure. I’ll do a post (or posts) on the trip once I get the pictures processed. That shouldn’t take as long as usual, because I didn’t take very many pictures. I also owe you a few posts on Luke and Liam and various other things.
