On Sunday morning before the big blizzard hit we made our way to Rock the Cradle which is an awesome event for kids put on by our favorite radio station the Current. It is held in Minneapolis at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts and The Children's Theatre Company. The buildings are connected so it works out pretty well!
We started out listening to one of our fav story tellers in one of the reception halls.
Then Linnea made a rainmaker with Creative Kidstuff staff and got a bulb to plant from Bachman's.
We went back to the reception hall to listen to The Bazzillions (one of our new fav kid bands). they played If You're Happy and You Know It and Linnea jumped up and did all the actions! It was very fun!
MacPhail School of Music was there with all sorts of instruments for the kids to try out. They called it "The Petting Zoo". Linnea enjoyed the piano and shakers the most. She wanted nothing to do with the violin even tho they had one just her size that I thought she would be so cute playing. We asked her a couple times and had her watch other kids but she stuck to her firm no. for being two she still doesnt say "no" that often so I believe when she says it she really means it.
We ended our fun day at the kids disco! She busted a few moves but was pretty tired so we had danced, had our snack and headed out into the snow.
I hope we can make it to the every year! It is so fun and she will get more and more into it each year. They offer yoga, puppet shows and more live music but we run out of energy being 2 so we will see how it goes next year!

Linnea is so lucky that her parents take her so so many fun things!! We were actually going to try to go to Rock the Cradle but wussed out with the impending snowstorm. Now I wish we would have braved it! It would have been very fun to see you and Chris and Linnea - we miss playing with you! Let me know if you have an upcoming day off with no plans - maybe we can hang out.
