Tickle Me Hell-mo...LIVE!

A few pictures from the weekend came through. Elmo pictures were mostly impossible but we got a few up close. They did not really have a whole lot of stuff to take pics with, which is totally understandable considering the pure chaos that surrounded the whole event. The whole idea really is to fill up every corner with twirly, sparking, floating, color-filled, kiddie eye-level gadgets, so that parents are forced to pick up something eventually to get their kid through the gauntlet without him/her throwing a fit and getting stomped on by the other kids trying to get to "their" toys. The sheer amount of sugar for sale was mind blowing. And why would a kid actually sit and watch a show after they have just been feed a literal 2 cups of fluffy colorful sugar. Parents were bending over backwards trying to prevent parent induced sugar melt downs by buying up the toy department only to have the kid kicking and screaming come crashing down and pass out with a hot pink and green ring around their mouth, a huge Elmo head balloon floating from their wrist and, a whirling light-up toy purring from their armpit... completely missing the show. No wonder the actors were miserable, they don't need actors. Elmo makes bank on sugar and toys! And this preggo mom is not even going to get started on what transpired in the ladies rooms!!!

We went, we saw, we conquered!






Happy 3rd Birthday Tyler!
