Yo! Gabba Gabba

There are many shows you have the privilege of watching once you have kiddos.  Some of them are great and some of them make you scratch your head.  One show Zoe LOVES is Yo! Gabba Gabba.  It's a DJ and his creature friends who sing and dance.  Because Zoe loves to sing and dance, I can totally understand why she loves the show. 

Foofa, Muno, DJ Lance, Toodee, Brobee and Plex (clockwise from the pink one)

N has a really hard time stomaching it.  It's okay, mainly because of Biz's Beat of the Day, which is Biz Markie giving us a beat with his vocal abilities.  Beyond that, I'm a bit lost.

Several months ago we learned that Yo! Gabba Gabba was coming to do a live show.  Because of Zoe's love for it, we bought tickets.

At the last minute N had emergency band practice, so he got out of it.  I'm not quite sure if he talked his band into having practice or if it was God's little blessing to him.  Either way we had an extra ticket and ended up taking my youngest nephew Connor to the show. 

He had no idea who Yo! Gabba Gabba was but was just excited to be out with us.  We went to dinner at Red Robin, arrived in time to get shirts for the kiddos and get our seats about 3 minutes before show time.  Connor just picked one of the guys, Brobee (the green one) and claimed him as the favorite.  He sat down, yelled for Brobee and immediately became a groupie.

Zoe's heart belongs to Toodee (the blue one).  She got her Toodee shirt and couldn't stand it, she started yelling for Toodee.

Then the show began.  The kids got up and danced, they sang, balloons fell from the ceiling, confetti rained down and I was blown away.  Those Yo! Gabba Gabba folks can really put on a great show. 

It was a night of laughs, dancing, joy and bonding.  Plus I got to see Biz Markie in person do his beatbox.  It was even better than that guy from those Police Academy movies.
