Yo Gabba Gabba!

Gracyn LOVES Yo Gabba Gabba! The first time we watched it, Clint and I were like, "Whoa, this show is weird and she isn't allowed to watch it." Then before we knew it YGG became a family favorite! I still think it's an odd show, but it teaches good life lessons to kids and the songs are very catchy.

When I heard Yo Gabba Gabba Live was coming to Tulsa I was so excited and just had to take Gracyn! Even if it meant missing the homecoming game. Katie was just as excited about taking Caroline....so the outfit planning began! : )

Katie, Eric, and Caroline got to the house about 9:30. Eric and Clint were planning on spending the day together watching football then heading over to the stadium to watch the Hogs take on South Carolina. Us girls headed out to Tulsa. First stop...Cheesecake Factory! MY FAVORITE!!!

We were a few minutes late to the show. Once we got there and got sat down Gracyn was wide eyed and in awe of what she saw on stage! After a few minutes, I stood her up on the ground and all of sudden she was doing the, "Jump, Shake, Shimmy them Out!" dance! Her and Caroline loved it!

I Love Bugs!

                                                           
Doing a little dance!

Hugging each other after the show!

Enjoying a treat after the show. Honestly, this is the only way we could get them to sit still long enough for a picture together.

After the show, we stood in line to get them a YGG toy and a concert tee. This was a little stressful. The girls were full of energy and just wanted to run around! Needless to say, they were crashed  out on the way home!

Checking out Muno while we waitied in line for a concert t-shirt!

So....for those of  you who might find this funny. Eric insisted that we use Katie's GPS on her phone to get us there and back. I wrote directions out on how to get there, but not how to get back. Katie's GPS got us there just fine so I figured we would get home, no problems.  Before we left Tulsa, I put my address on the GPS and we were on our way. Katie and I tend to talk A LOT when we are driving and it's not uncommon for us to miss our exit. However, with Katie's GPS we were given a few seconds warning when our exit or turn was coming up. So we were set on our way home. Before we know it, we are in the middle of nowhere. All we could see was farmland. I said, "Katie, I don't think this is the right way." She said somethign along the lines of the GPS hasn't told us to turn around. I got my phone out and pulled up the GPS. Sure enough....we were WAY out or route. Seeing as how Clint is from Tulsa area, I called  him for help.  It was about 5:30 so I figured he would be in the stadium but hoped he would answer. He answered. I told him what had happened and where we were at. He asked where were and I said Highway 28. He exact words were, "Hnnn, I don't know where that is. I left Eric at the tailgate, I'm trying to sale 2 tickets, and find Bill. Wait, Bill is calling. I got to go." and then he hung up!!!! So he wasn't much help at all! I told Katie to pull over at this little station we were coming  up to. Seriously, it was a place straight out of a serial killer movie! There was even a big scary guy staring us down as we passed by!!!! We just kept on going. Creeper! We followed the blue dot on my GPS and finally made it back to 412! The point of this is....don't rely on GPS or Clint for help!


On the way home, we stopped at Buffalo Wild Wings to get some take out. We had planned on being home in time for kick off, but our scenic detour put us behind about 45 minutes. We got home towards the end of the 2nd quarter. Hogs won!!!

Modeling their new shirts and giving kisses to Foofa's!

Overall it was a great day! Gracyn and Caroline had a blast! Katie and I had a great time! But most importantly.....
Clint and Eric had a fabulous man-date!
