Backyardigans Live!

Greg and I took Maddison on a special "BIG GIRL" weekend. Maddison had seen the advertisement for the Backyardigans Live Tour and was bummed out when I told that they were not scheduled to come near our house. After some searching I discovered that they were going to be in Paducah, Kentucky. Greg and I decided that was not too bad of a drive so we decided to head up there for a few days.

I was unable to find a Backyardigans shirt that fit Maddi so my mother-in-law made an amazing shirt for her to wear. She loved it!

We had a great first day...did some shopping!

The morning of the show we headed down to the hotel restaurant. While sitting there I overheard some people talking and they mentioned the Backyardigans. I told Maddi that I thought they might be with the show. So of course she started staring. One of the girls came over to talk to Maddi. She commented on her shirt being of Tasha....then she told Maddi that SHE. WAS. TASHA.!!!! Maddi flipped out. She was so sweet to Maddi. Then we met another girl who said SHE. WAS. UNIQUA.!!!!! They were both so nice and asked Maddi her name and where we were sitting.

Okay....so the show was AMAZING! During the finale....they were dancing and Uniqua said "Hey let's all dance. Come on Maddison!" So Maddi, of course, freaked out and I got a little teary-eyed. What a cool moment for Maddi! So then Tasha starts saying hi to the different levels. When she gets to the balcony she said "Hi everyone in the balcony. Hey Maddison!" and acts like to she is waving just at her. SO COOL!!!!!

So anyways....Maddison had a great time and it was awesome for Greg and I to get to see our daughter so HAPPY!!!!

*Cameras were not allowed inside so I only got two pictures, but here are a few of their promotional pictures.

I came across your blog googling for Backyardigans Live. We are taking our 4 year old to the Jacksonville, FL one in mid-July. I just gotta say maybe I'm a hormonal wreck, but I cried reading how sweet the cast members were to introduce themselves and remember her during the show. Special moments like that from my childhood have stuck with me, and I'm sure she will always talk about remembering how the Backyardigans talked directly to her! I'm touched and glad it was such a good time, and even more excited to go.-Tina
