A few weeks ago I found out, that the USO would bring the Sesame Street Tour to Germany. For the non military people a short note what this project is about:
“The Sesame Street/USO Experience for Military Families” is a project developed under the Talk, Listen, Connect initiative, which Sesame Workshop launched in 2006. The initiative provides support and offers significant resources for military families with young children who are experiencing the effects of deployment, multiple deployments or when a parent comes home injured.
Since Joanna is a huge fan of Elmo it was clear, that we would go to the show. I also was able to get in contact with the tour manager and told him about Joanna's health condition and that she would love to meet Elmo and give him a big hug. And wow, his response was awesome. Believe it or not, a few hours before the show started we were invited to go to the KMC Onstage and Joanna was able to meet ALL the characters from the USO Sesame Street show. They all came early just for her...
It was awesome, Joanna felt so special and was smiling the whole time, she also asked were the other kids were and why the Theater was still empty....she couldn't believe that Elmo and his friends were just there for her...
Every character came and gave her a big hug....Cookie Monster...
Grover
They all smiled and waved at her....
And of course we did several group pictures
And a family picture....Cookie Monster was holding Will down.....
And more hugging with Elmo....
and kissing...
and sitting.... I know to many pictures on here...but I just love to see her smile.....
and we even got Gavin on a few pictures....of course he thought he was too cool for all of that...but actually you could tell that he enjoyed it too...
specially when the Cookie Monster talked to him...
After the photo shooting we had two more hours until the show started.....we had something to eat and came back to the Theatre. They reserved us seats in the front row, so we had a pretty good view...
All the kids got some Elmo toys and some USO bandannas....aren't we special ???
Look at this pictures.......haha....
Goofing around...
The show started and Joanna was dancing with Elmo...
The songs were really good and the kids were all dancing...
ELMO
Joanna was in heaven and really enjoyed the show.....and Gavin did too, of course he didn't say it, because he is way to cool...
Thanks again to the people from USO....that was awesome.......
