Steve and I thought Cooper had outgrown his fondness for Barney, as we hadn't heard about him in at least two years. But Katie discovered and fell in love with Barney last week, and he regained his interest. He then noticed an ad in the paper for the show and asked to go. "Oh, no, we don't need to go," I said, reluctant to drive 30 miles and spend more than $100. A few days later, we received an invitation for free tickets (but, alas, no limo or taxi ride).
Cooper danced for at least half the show. Katie clapped, flapped, smiled, bobbed and shrieked. They both enjoyed the 90 minutes, which meant we enjoyed it, too.
We stopped at Babe's for lunch on the way home -- it's a special treat kind of place and perfect for tired kids. They serve the food quickly and no one notices if you're rowdy or noisy.
I think Katie was hoping the nice man in a nearby row would give her a French fry.
Cooper devoured more than half a package of blue cotton candy. We did not purchase the $15 glow-in-the-dark Barney stick.
