Calling All Movers!

For those of you who don't know, the Imagination Movers are Disney's newest big thing. They're a band geared toward preschoolers and young elementary age who sing songs and "solve problems" on their morning TV show. The band is made up of four men (hmmm...sounds familiar) who write and play their own music.



What we like about them is that they're actually talented (one of them even plays a mandolin), and they come up with music that's catchy for the kids and enjoyable for the adults. What our kids like about them is that they're silly, they dance and I think Scott reminds us all of their Uncle Daniel (without the long hair, of course).

Elizabeth and I started watching their show soon after the boys started school last fall. With no big brothers to hang out with all day, the Imagination Movers became her "imaginary friends". She began to talk about them and pretend to talk to them all day! On Saturday mornings we started watching it with the boys during our Saturday morning cartoons, and all of us got hooked!

Well, a couple of weeks ago we decided to Google the Movers and see if they perform any live shows...and we found out they were coming to Birmingham!!! After a brief discussion we decided to purchase tickets for the whole family as a joint birthday gift for Elijah and Elizabeth. When we told them they were ecstatic!

So today we had a great family trip to meet the Movers. And to see the huge smiles on the kids' faces and hear them sing along at the concert...it was worth every penny!

That is very cool. I'm glad you guys splurged. Memories like that are worth it. I remember taking Jacob to see the Wiggles and Katie to see Disney on Ice. Who knows what Sarah's special show will be. Sounds like you guys are doing well, I'm glad you are blogging again.
