Bob the Builder at Tweetsie

We went to Tweetsie again today because Bob the Builder was visiting. Sam has one book that I bought at a Kroger in Raleigh with Bob in it. He is unfamiliar with the songs or the characters. That said, as soon as he saw a picture of Bob at the Railroad, Sam screamed, "Bob!" and pointed at the pic. Where did that come from??



They gave all the kids "hard" hats as we entered the park. Sam and I went straight to the performance area so we could get a good seat and I promptly began taking photos.

Then, at around 11am, Bob entered. He needed lots of help getting up on the stage. He was adorable. He sang songs and the kids danced and clapped and sang along with him.

Afterwards, we got to go to the meet-and-greet. We were first in line. Sam was kind of clingy while we waited and then when we got to see him, he got a little nervous. The other two pictures I have are of him facing another direction and trying to get away from the crazy man in a costume. Bill and I actually doctored the above picture a lot to get it to look better.

Here's another picture of him waiting to see Bob. Bill says he looks unhappy in this photo, but he was actually quite happy. I made a PB&J for a snack (it's $7.50 for a kid's meal at Tweetsie!) and he ate some cheerios while we waited.

Here's smilin' Sam just before the meet-and-greet. He was so happy to be able to smell the "bowers" (flowers).

On the way home, I met Bill at a Greek restaurant in town. Sam fell asleep and when I leaned in to wake him up, he jerked his head up and yelled, "BOB!" and then started crying. I laughed so hard and Bill's jaw dropped in surprise of the spontaneous moment. It was like George Clooney in "O Brother Where Art Thou" when he kept waking up and saying, "my hair!" What a hoot.
