Wiggles Concert

The Wiggles came to Hershey!!! Navie LOVES the Wiggles so we had to make sure we went to see them. For those who don't know who the Wiggles are, they are a children's music group from Australia. They like to sing and dance to different songs, some of them they wrote and some are twinkle twinkle little star and the Itzy Bitzy spider. The concert was so much fun! It was really nice to see Navie happy and enjoying the concert. I know she won't remember it but I will : ) This was our birthday present to her this year. I took a bunch of pictures so when she is older we can show her them and reminisce.

Here we are just outside the concert in front of a Wiggle poster. Naive's favorite wiggle is Jeff (purple wiggle). He falls asleep all time and everyone has to say "Wake up Jeff!!!". Its so cute to hear Navie do it : ). Sam (yellow wiggle) is sort of the leader, Murry (red wiggle) plays all sorts of guitars, and Anthony (blue wiggle) loves food. Sadly Murry had to go back to Australia for family reasons so they had a fill-in for him.

This concert was the Wiggly Circus. They left a flayer on every seat : )

Here is Navie with her Dorothy the Dinosaur bucket hat and light wand. We had to have souvenirs : )

The Wiggles always drive the Big Red Car. They even have a whole song about.



We had great seats. We were on the very end so we didn't have to walk over people to get to our seats and it was fast getting out. Plus, the Wiggles always go out in the audience and interact with the crowd so they walked right next to us. We couldn't have been closer to them : )

Everyone is allowed to bring bones and roses for two of the Wiggle mascots Dorothy the Dinosaur and Wags the dog. This is when Sam went out and collected some from the kids and passed by us.

Here you can see all four Wiggles plus the other characters, Henry the Octopus, Dorothy the Dinosaur (Navie's favorite mascot), Wags the dog, and Captain Feathersword (he is the comic relief).


They sing a song about fruit salad and how it eat it : ) I like the songs they sing for kids because they are fun but also teach them important things too like how to cross the road safely and eat healthy food.

They even did a little drum routine. I'm telling you, the concert was for the kids but they made sure it was entertaining enough for the parents too.


This is a video of Navie dancing and clapping along with one of the songs. It was such a great night. I was afraid that Navie wouldn't be able to make it all the way through the concert without falling asleep or having a melt down because she didn't get a nap at all that day. I was so pleased that she enjoyed it : )

Balloon Fest

Saturday we went to a little balloon fest in Greencastle. It was nothing like the one Hershey used to do years ago but it was still a big deal for our simple area : ) Of course Navie was afraid of EVERYTHING! I think with all the people around and the size of all the balloons was just a little much for her. She sat in her wagon with her hands over her eyes. Poor little thing. Cris took a few videos on his iphone and she even had a hard time watching those at home. Overall it was a great night. The weather was nice and the rain held off. We even had a breeze/wind to make things even nicer : )
