We rarely get those where we live. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sesame-street-live-tips-from-yesterdays-adventure#post-955493 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 10:00:34 +0000 808love 955493@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@anbanan15: That's a great idea. I can't wait to go to Hershey with LO one day. Loved it when I was a kid. My LO is allergic to milk so I'll be sure to plan ahead for that if we visit any ice cream factories!<br /> @mrs. wagon: Thanks for the encouragement and support otherwise I never would have. Now I'll just try to find the time.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sesame-street-live-tips-from-yesterdays-adventure#post-955430 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 09:43:19 +0000 T-Mom 955430@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great write-up! We haven't been to a SS live show but went to the wiggles and it was a similar kind of thing. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sesame-street-live-tips-from-yesterdays-adventure#post-955181 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 08:19:15 +0000 mrs. wagon 955181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@808love: omg. GENIUS about the pre-elmo-balloon... when they brought those out we were like, ugh. We couldn't believe it was $10!! It did last a long time, but that is an EXPENSIVE balloon.</p> <p>please. PLEASE!! submit this as a guest blog post!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sesame-street-live-tips-from-yesterdays-adventure#post-955180 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 08:18:49 +0000 anbanan15 955180@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sounds like everything went smoothly! </p> <p>I took LO back in January. He had a great time! Our "extra mile" was the Hershey Chocate World ride. You get a free chocolate sample at the end so I made sure to pack a little baggy of his allergen free chocolates and switched them out without him noticing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sesame-street-live-tips-from-yesterdays-adventure#post-955172 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 08:14:32 +0000 MamaBehr 955172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Nice work!!! I don't think I could have been that planned out. I took DD when she wasn't quit two, to a SS Live performance, it worked out well, but not as well as yours! This friday we are going to the circus, it makes me think I should start prepping her like this! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sesame-street-live-tips-from-yesterdays-adventure#post-955130 Tue, 23 Jul 2013 08:00:55 +0000 Mrs. Jacks 955130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh my gosh, how fun! You really did your homework and it sounds like it came together perfectly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sesame-street-live-tips-from-yesterdays-adventure#post-954427 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 20:53:06 +0000 Honeybee 954427@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Super cool! Such great ideas about the sheet set turned booster seat and buying a ballon ahead of time! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/sesame-street-live-tips-from-yesterdays-adventure#post-954339 Mon, 22 Jul 2013 20:33:41 +0000 808love 954339@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We are not huge SS fans but I was so excited for a must-do childhood event. I was greatly inspired by Mrs. Jacks past blog post about taking her daughter to the ballet so I planned well ahead, including her idea to watch a few video clips ahead of time. I find all the Disneyland tips posted very helpful as well since I'm planning an upcoming trip. </p> <p>Age: 2 1/2, Nap: essential 2+ hours, Showtime: 2pm</p> <p>Seating: I got the tickets months ago when they were immediately released. I chose front of the 2nd or 3rd cheapest seating area-which brought me to the center of the 6th row!</p> <p>Clothing: dressed her for the event in the morning-Elmo tshirt hand me down, coordinating leggings and shoes</p> <p>Morning: Enough time to do an errand( *see extra mile), pack food, playground to run out the wiggles, and take a nap *half at home/other half in the carseat ride over</p> <p>Food: Prepared the bento (musubi and heart shaped pb and j sandwiches), packed water</p> <p>Parking: Arrived half hour early and chose 'forgotten' parking closest to event but furthest lane away to reduce walking time for LO (had to almost lap the place to get to it)</p> <p>Extra Mile: Found out SS sold $10 Elmo Face balloons and toys at intermission so I went to a discount store earlier and bought a life-size helium Elmo balloon to play with at home ahead of time and take in her car ride. I emphasized how other kids will be picking up their smaller balloons at the show. </p> <p>Last Minute Idea: I spied a recently purchased sheet set packaged like a brick and threw it in my purse to use as a makeshift booster seat-worked great!</p> <p>Bathroom: As soon as intermission lights went on, I bolted up with LO, excused myself through a half a row of people explaining to their LO what is happening or deciding what was up with the balloons, and was first in line to the bathroom. Thankfully, LO went potty because I was quite worried through the first half that we might have an accident. </p> <p>Picture Taking: Have someone take a pic of you and LO before it starts. Do a little interview with LO at intermission if you have video. Remember to turn off flash (oops!) and don't annoy your neighbors with too many pics. Speaking of....here are a bunch of pics I shot!</p> <p>Anyone else planning on going or been?</p> <p>[attach=1524/13/mqd8c7.600x450.IMG_0253.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=1524/13/mqd8c9.600x450.IMG_0277.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=1524/13/mqd8cc.560x600.IMG_0259.JPG]</p> <p>[attach=1524/13/mqd93s.600x450.IMG_0270.JPG] </p>
