Sesame Street Live

Last month, the hubs and I decided to be brave enough to conquer Sesame Street Live with a 4 year old and a 7 month old. It was brought to our military base via the USO Experience for Military Families.  What an awesome experience! Besides waiting for over an hour to get inside, because I am definitely an early bird when it comes to these types of events, my children loved it! The USO (United Service Organizations) has been offering this free traveling tour featuring some America’s favorite Muppets, and we all know that Elmo is like all the free candy in the world to most toddlers.

 They sang songs with positive themes that addressed feelings, missing a parent during deployment, etc.  They gave every child a free elmo toy and had free dvd's and reading materials for parents to share with their children to ease the stress and anxiety of deployment.  there were also activities before and after shows and the children were able to meet the characters.  For the past two years they have traveled throughout the US and Europe at more than 64 military installations.
