Big Fun with Super Why




Our local PBS station had an open house today and I dragged myself and the two precious little girls downtown to go visit. If it hadn't been for the fact that we had been stuck inside for the last week, and mom was starting to go crazy.... or if the sun had actually made an appearance today so we could have played outside, I might have not gone. However, we had been stuck inside, and it was still rainy, so we went.... even with Savannah showing signs of sickness.

Yup, I dragged Savannah out in the rain today to go see her favorite cartoon characters down at the TV station. Getting there was like pulling teeth.... as soon as I thought we were ready to go we had to change clothes.... then we are leaving and I realize that my double stroller is at Mike's work so we have to drive there to pick it up (instead of driving the most direct /time efficient route)...

Once we made it there, we did however have a good time. Savannah thought it was cool that there were people paid to watch TV and that they could watch like ten TV screens all at the same time. She didn't understand the editing part or actual broadcasting though. We also were able to see the NPR radio rooms, and Savannah was just barely brave enough to talk into the microphone. After visiting with Wonder Red and Princess Presto (which I come to find out was her favorite of the Super Why Characters), we were ready to head out- lunch and nap a calling.

In the end we really only saw the Super Why characters and a tiny glimpse of Clifford (we actually almost ran over Clifford in the hallway with our big double stroller) but that was okay with Savannah cause Super Why is her favorite characters right now... She likes Clifford and Curious George, but it is Super Why she looks forward to every morning...

Next year she will enjoy it even more too.... She was still a little young for a lot of the stuff this time around. We also know that we don't need to show up quite as early.... We arrived when the doors opened this time... but it was a lot less crowded by the time we were leaving and would have been a lot more enjoyable not running over so many people.

Oh my kids would have loved that. They love Super Why. Even the big ones, though you'd never get them to admit it! LOL
