We couldn't let Elmo come to town without trying to get a glimpse of the lovable red monster. The kids have been excited for weeks about "seeing Elmo on the stage." However, as we were going down the list of all the characters that would also be on the stage Mia froze up at the thought of Cookie Monster. For some reason she thinks Monsters are bad? Hmmm? We did our best to explain that he only eats cookies. You could see a look of relief on her face when she saw him on the stage only concerned with his cookies. 
We had very good seats and plenty of room for singing and dancing...
There was a very sick little girl in a bed /wheelchair near the front of the stage. I was very touched that EVERY character that went by stopped and shook her hand. Some lingered longer than others. Ernie is a good man
"La la la la la, sing, sing a song, Sing it loud, the whole day long....." apparently Mia wasn't the only one singing and enjoying herself.
During the intermission this man walked into the arena with about 200 Elmo balloons. Of course he came in from the far back and stood front and center. Zane, David and I debated on the price of the balloons. After a long discussion we sent Zane to find out the real amount. TEN BUCKS for an Elmo balloon....The Sesame Street people are no dummies!!! Needless to say, We left without any balloons.
Let it be known....At Zane's request no photos were taken of him at this event.
