Let's All Go Bananas!

Jaden has been a big fan of The Wiggles since he was about 18 months old and we were SO excited when we found out that "The Wiggles Go Bananas" show was coming to town!  I have to admit.....John and I were a little "wiggled out" for a while after Jaden first started watching the show/videos but he seemed to taper off on wanting to watch them after a few months.  Dora, Diego, Little Einsteins, Max & Ruby to name a few became his new favorites.  But last week when we told him that we were going to see the show, he was REALLY excited and wanted to watch his videos all the time again.  Ah well....
I have to say that the guys really put on a good show.  And yes, I sang along to all the songs.  I'm sure John was thinking to himself..."is this what she does all day?!"  No, it's not.  =D 
We recognized some of the dancers from the videos and Jaden clapped his hands when Wags the Dog and Captain Feathersword took the stage.  Henry the Octopus and Dorothy the Dinosaur were there too.  The show was an hour and a half, which I think is good for this age group.  It held their attention with songs, dancing and acrobatic feats and the time went by fast.  After the show, we stopped by the souvenir table and Jaden picked out a Captain Feathersword hat.  But while we were standing in line waiting for our car, he saw all these kids with light sticks and he kept begging for one but John and I held our ground.  We said 1 souvenir!  Of course, I was thinking, "I wonder if John can run up and get him one before the car gets here?" and by the look on John's face, I think he was thinking the same thing.
The pictures were taken with my phone so the quality isn't that great.
