Dora the Explorer

Handley has recently become obsessed with DORA the EXPLORER.  She asks to watch it EVERYDAY and would probably watch it all day long if I let her.  I found out that Dora Live was coming to the Fox Theater in Atlanta this past weekend and was able to get tickets for the show.  Handley wasn't really sure what to expect, but she knew this was going to be a special treat just for her and she was so excited.  Gigi and Papa came over to watch Harper and we were off.  

All dressed up and ready to go!

Gigi and Handley.  Before we left Gigi gave Handley a little Dora doll and told her all about the special things that she would get to see.  Gigi loves going to see shows at the Fox and was so excited for Handley's first trip there. 

All her excitement caused her to fall asleep on the way there!  Notice I've graduated her to the BIG bow...love it!

I love this picture because it shows just how in awe Handley was of the theater.  If you've never been there, it is pretty amazing.  It looks like a castle on the inside and is just gorgeous.  Also, the ceiling looks like the night sky with stars that twinkle.  What a special treat for a little girl!

Here we are sneaking a picture up by the stage before the show began.  

After looking around we got some popcorn (which Handley just loved) and headed to our seats to wait for the show to begin.  Handley had a lot of fun dancing during the show and taking it all in.  She definitely took advantage of little Harper not being there with us and was stuck to me like glue.  I'm really happy we were able to do this special outing with her and hope to plan some more fun things like this in the future.
