Blue Valentine Redo

Although we laughed our way through our Valentine's Day date
that we hated, our sweet daughter, Makenna, was not okay with that. She gave us a redo.

She picked out songs and played them for us as we danced in the kitchen, and then she presented us with tickets to see the Blue Man Group.

Because we are us and not regular people, we arrived to the show with only one minute to spare. We ran through the doors and showed the ticket warden our tickets. She then yelled, "We've got latecomers! They'll never get to their seats in time!!" Then another ticket warden rushed us across the front of the stage to the opposite side of the auditorium, which is where our seats were located. Then we were told to go directly to our seats and sit as quickly as humans are able to do so.

The show began with humor and continued on with musical gymnastics and impressive percussion. The Blue Men were quite funny, and we laughed for most of the show. Then, at the end, about ten gigantic, cloth balls were brought onto the stage. They began white, but changed colors as they were drummed upon. Then they were shoved off of the stage and into the audience, where we bounced the balls, which kept changing their color, back and forth across the people.

Then we returned home to our wonderful children and helped them finish up their homework, gave a sick one some cold medicine, and tucked them all into bed. And it was no less fun.
