Mama had heard on the radio that Sesame Street Live was coming to Santa Barbara&#8212;the Arlington Theatre to be exact.

So Papa went online and bought 4 tickets for the whole family to go Saturday morning, today, to seeBert, Ernie, Big Bird, Elmo, Zoe, the Count and the whole Sesame Street gang. Our seats were in the bleachers but there was enough room for us to find seats downstairs. In fact we were able to sit in the front row!

The boys thoroughly enjoyed themselves dancing, waving to the characters and eating a whole bag of popcorn! Many times during the show Declan and Aidan were in some sort of trance, as if none of it was really happening to them. Overall the boys had a fantastic time.

After the show on our way outside Declan found a puddle that he wanted to play in. Papa caught it on video.

We then went for a walk through downtown Santa Barbara and had some fun in the thrift store where Aidan got a "claw" toy and Declan got a genuine
Slinky.

On our way back to the car to head back to campus for an afternoon football game we actually saw Elmo, Grover, and Zoe walk right by. Grover reached out and actually grabbed Declan's hand, all-the-while he maintained his zombie-like stare, very cute.
