Paw Patrol

Last summer, I noticed that a new show starring everyone's favorite rescue dogs, Paw Patrol, was going on tour. The show was stopping in the city as well as Rockford. I decided to get tickets to the Rockford show because a) it was in December and would be extra fun to go during the holiday season, and b) I could get seats right up front easily and for less money. So we headed out to Rockford at the beginning of December and settled into our third row seats. We were all very excited. Luckily, they handed out pom poms so we could physically express our excitement.

I wasn't sure how they were going to handle the fact that actors couldn't be inside dog suits and on all fours for the entire show. They decided to go with having a human handler "ride" the dogs. It was a little silly at first, but we got used to it. The casting was spot-on for the humans and it was a very well done production. The boys really enjoyed it and even Charlotte paid attention with some interest.

On our way home from Rockford, we stopped at the outlet mall to do a small bit of shopping. The boys really liked this outdoor fireplace.
