The Three Little Peeeeeegs

Yesterday we took Sophie to her first puppet show! We saw Tangle of Tales at Children's Theatre of Charlotte. You might say I'm slightly familiar with the show. A little bit.


Before the show started I told her that the stories she would see were The Frog Prince, Three Billy Goats Gruff, and The Three Little Pigs. She was very excited about the pigs.


During the show, every time a new puppet character popped up she would ask me, "is that the three little peeeeegs?" The Three Little Pigs story actually comes last in the show, which was great since it definitely built her anticipation. Meanwhile, she really enjoyed the show. She laughed and clapped and was mesmerized by all the action.


After the show, we went out into the lobby where there was a puppet theater set up for the kids to play with. It was a big hit! It was cool to see all the kids really excited about trying out the puppets for themselves.


Sophie was in her element.


After the show, we rode the light rail train into SouthEnd. Sophie was ecstatic about getting to ride the train! This is the second time she's ridden the train, so she's an old pro.


Getting on board the train.


We got off the train and had lunch at the Phat Burrito. We had a great time!
