Ben also came home just in time for Sesame Street - LIVE!. SS and the USO partnered to do a cool tour of military instalations with a special show about dealing with separations (as in deployments for the non military readers, not marital). It was at our base theatre, it was free with VIP seating for deployed families, and Ben was super excited about it. Elmo, Rosita, Zoe, Cookie Monster (my fav), and Grover came and put on a cool show.
The show was shorter than their normal thing but it was fun. They sang, danced, and talked about missing their mom or dad and ways to deal with it - on a kid level. Upon entrance, ach child received a cool spinny Elmo thing, even the big kids. The babies loved them, the boys even thought they were cool, and the big girls, well, they were mortified that we were making them go. They were praying no one they knew would see them. They were all trying to hide from my camera, it was hilarious.The boys with their free sno-cones and toys

Pretty colors, now can I put it back in my mouth?
"Whoa"
Not too sure about the singing furry things. Her Daddy will protect her.
