Veggie Tales LIVE

Last Thursday night (March 22), the Veggie Tales came to visit our Church. When we heard that the show was coming, we knew that we wanted to take Caleb to see them. Kailyn wasn't even born yet when we purchased the tickets, but we knew it would be best to get someone to keep her. So we reserved Gran Gran to come over and spend the evening with her. We told Caleb that it was his special night and asked him to choose where we went for dinner. He said, "the red apple." I translated that as Applebee's and he agreed that I was right.

Earlier that afternoon, when picking Caleb up from school, we exited the building upstairs and got a sneak preview of the souvenier table. He already knew we were supposed to see the show that night, so he got really excited. He did not want to leave...he wanted to see the "vegetables" right now!! I had to convince him that we needed to go home and take a nap while we wait on Daddy to come home because we wanted Daddy to go to the show with us and he was still at work.

Before the show, we took Caleb to the souvenier table to get a surprise. He picked out the "red tomato" whose name is Bob. Almost a week later, he does not let Bob out of his sight and he sleeps with him! It is really sweet.




Caleb looooved the show!! He watched, sang, and danced the entire time. During intermission, he kept asking where they went and if they were finished going peepee yet, ha! If Mommy or Daddy started singing or dancing along with him, he would stop and tell us not to. We did not realize that we were just his vehicle to and from the show...definitely can't embrarrass this 2.5 year old in front of his friends, haha :) At the end of the show, they sang the Veggie Tales theme song and then said bye. When the lights came on and they exited the stage, Caleb started crying. He wanted more!! Such a sweet boy. Thankfully we had a Veggie Tales DVD in the car so he could watch them on the way home.








Veggie Tales Theme Song:
Bob: If you like to talk to tomatoes
If a squash can make you smile
If you like to waltz with potatoes
Up and down the produce aisle...
Have we got a show for you!
All: VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales,
VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales, VeggieTales!
Bob: Broccoli! Celery! Gotta be
All: VeggieTales!
Junior: Lima beans! Collard greens! Peachy keen!
All: VeggieTales!
Larry: Cauliflower! Sweet and sour! Half and hour!
All: VeggieTales!
All: There's never-ever-ever-ever-ever been a show like VeggieTales!
There's never-ever-ever-ever-ever been a show like VeggieTales!
It's time for VeggieTales!

After we returned home from the show, Caleb got out a few of his instruments (guitar, harmonica, and piano) and put on a concert for us. He sang, "Veggie Tales, Veggie Tales...Talk to tomatoes. If a squash can make you smiiiiiile! Show for you....Veggie Tales, Veggie Tales, Veggie Tales!" And the entire time he was dancing up a storm. It was so cute and hillarious, I just hate we did not catch him on camera.

Caleb enjoyed the show so much, we are thinking about taking him to the Circus next month when they come to town :)
