Keeping Up with the Coxes: The Wiggles

One of Jacob's favorite music groups is The Wiggles. I know, I know, they can seem a bit grating and a lot of parents can't stand them. Nathan and I have been "fans" of The Wiggles for years because my nephews all adored them and frankly, we thought they weren't half bad. I'll take them over some of the other junk out there any day. How can you resist their thick Australian accents??

When we learned, many months ago, that they would be coming the area, we knew we would have to get tickets. Jacob enjoyed Sesame Street Live so much and we just knew it would be well worth the money and time to go see the show. Luckily, we were able to rope in some dear friends of ours, so we weren't alone!

Of course, as luck would have it, there was a torrential downpour on Friday evening and we all got good and soaked before finding our seats in the chilly theater. All of the frustration and discomfort disappeared as soon as The Wiggles entered the stage and we thoroughly enjoyed the hour and a half show. Jacob spent much of the show up dancing and truly seemed to be having fun!!

Throughout the course of the show, several cast members make their way through the audience so Jacob was able to see them up close and personal. He was even able to give Murray a rose for Dorothy the Dinosaur (didn't you know that dinosaurs eat red roses???) and I now think he's my favorite. Unfortunately, I didn't get a good picture because it was so darned dark in there, but Murray actually took the time to talk with Jacob and was just so sweet.

We got home quite late from the show, but it was definitely more than worth it! What a fun time and great memories!
