Keeping up with the Schusters: The People in Your Neighborhood

Today we ventured out in the monsoon that is hitting Baltimore to see Elmo and all of his buddies at the Lyric. Our neighbor, Faye, surprised us with tickets to Elmo Makes Music for E and I and her daughter S and her. We moved E's car seat and all packed up in the car to head out to the show. We found perfect princess parking, thank goodness. We walked into the Lyric and E was pumped, lots of OHHHHHHH's, AHHHHHHHH's, and ELMO! We got to our seats, which were great, not too close but just close enough. We got the kids situated and then were convinced that the next 45 minutes were going to be torture. The house lights went off and the stage lights went on, E was hooked right at the start of "Sunny Days". S was a little freaked out, but quickly came around when things calmed down a bit on stage. It was hilarious to see E's reaction as all of the Sesame Street favorites came out on stage...so cute! I had tears rolling down my cheeks from laughing so hard. As for the show, it was actually pretty good. There were times where Faye and I were laughing pretty hard. Pretty dorky, I know! My favorite is when the whole Sesame Street gang busted out into the hustle and then Bert came out doing a spin off of Saturday Night Fever. E and S were dancing and singing, loving every minute of the show. Any time Elmo was not on stage, E would put his palms up and say, "Elmo?" "Elmo all gone?" Too much cuteness! E and S had a blast! We waved bye bye to the Lyric and headed back to our street, where friends are people in your neighborhood! XOXO
