Today we took Jack and Graham out to Military Park for "Let's Meet PBS Kids in the Park". Julie met us there with Charlotte and Lincoln. It was super hot and muggy after raining in the morning so we were hoping some people would be deterred, but no such luck. There were lots of games for the kids to play, booths set up to do coloring activities and a few PBS characters for the kids to meet. Jack is a huge Super Why fan and he (okay...I) was looking forward to meeting him. We stood in a SUPER long line and got up to the very front and they told us that Super Why had to leave! WHAT?! They weren't going to let Jack meet him?! I talked to the super nice man to the left in the picture and convinced him to quickly let Jack sit on Super Why's lap. Jack (okay, okay...I) was very happy, but we felt a little bad for the long line of kids behind us that did not get to meet him.
I went to nurse Graham in the shade while Jason and Jack went to a concert put on by Mr. Steve. That's the one and only in the top right of this picture! Can you tell by the red shirt? Jack was pretty mesmerized and stood watching him in rapture most of the time. That is until the little girl in the white shirt and pink shorts took his hand and started dancing with him...then he just looked pretty confused.
Then of course Elmo was there. But after the Super Why incident, no way were we going to stand in another long line just to be turned away at the end. So we just by passed him and mom snuck over to take his picture. He's a lot taller in person.
Martha the talking dog was there too...but for some reason, no one was in line to meet her. (Hmmm...could it be because it's one of the DUMBEST shows on PBS?) So Jack gladly stepped up to give her a hug and get his picture taken.
It was super hot and I was a little worried about Graham being out in the heat so we left a little earlier than we would have liked, but all in all today was a pretty fun day. I think this might be something we do each year. I just love this age with Jack and doing fun new things. I can't wait until he and Graham can enjoy things like this together.
