Conor loves Barney...that big purple dinosaur that sings a lot and can get on Mom and Dad's nerves after a while. But because he loves it so much, when we learned that Barney was coming in person for a show at NIU--Daddy's alma mater--we just couldn't resist. Mom and Conor had a special date, complete with the McDonald's happy meal he had been requesting for weeks! We got to get his picture taken with Barney and even had front row seats. Conor was the first kid up on the jumbo-tron screen at the beginning of the show. Don't think he quite knew how to feel about that. He was a bit overwhelmed and apprehensive at first, and covered his ears at the loud parts. One of the characters came down in front of us and gave me a high five, but Conor was too nervous to put his hand out. He was tired by the end but seemed to really have a great time. Here are some photos of the day:

Watching for Barney to come in for the photo session.

So happy to be here
Posing with the stage in the background...Mom, are we done taking pictures yet? I'm tired of smiling.
The characters on stage
Playing with the confetti. The show was all about a birthday party for Barney.
Tying his sweater around his neck to look like a bowtie since Barney was wearing one
Waving at Barney and covering his ears because he thought it was too loud
