Shining the Star-Light #7 -- Sesame Street LIVE!
You know that I love, Love, LOVE companies that take care of military families. Today I am going to celebrate Sesame Street Live at the Frank Erwin Center.When my son was three, we took him to see Sesame Street Live and he had such a wonderful time. I didn't even realize just how great an experience it was for him until an advertisement for the Austin showing came on television. He looked at me with all the earnestness that an eight year old can muster and said, "Mommy, we should take Baby to that. She's never gotten to go like me". (He has called her "Baby" since her birth. Sometimes, it annoys her and she will scream, "I am not a baby" but most days she likes it.)Well, with a looming Chuck E. Cheese party and a Barbie Dream House for a gift, we were pretty much at the budget max so I pulled the old, "we'll see", imagining that we would not be doing that this month. But life offers mini-miracles. Yesterday, I received one of those little miracles. We received an email offering a military discount to that very show. A $5 ticket discount!!!And we took advantage of that offer. My daughter is going to see Elmo and she has already declared that "this is the best birthday ever!" So thank you Frank Erwin Center and Sesame Street LIVE!, you've helped make my daughter sooooo happy! And that makes this Military Mom even happier!For those of you in the Austin Area, here is the information. Please know that although there are other box office outlets that sell tickets to the show, in order to take advantage of the $5 discount, you do need to go to the Frank Erwin Center.
