Blue Man Group

My dad took us to our first Vegas show last week! The scene above was my favorite part of the show. It's filled with color, percussion, and some crazy stunts... we really enjoyed it!

Dad also treated us to a fancy Italian dinner at the Venetian. SCORE.

They pass out white crepe paper for everyone to tie on themselves... for greater effect when the blacklights come on.

We got a picture with one of the Blue Men! Their face paint is so crazy--it covers everything but the whites of their eyes. (Emily's camera got the front shot.)

Mike enjoyed trying the pipe drums in the Blue Man store. He's got some rhythm of his own.

Believe it or not, I have NEVER been to Vegas. Pathetic, I know. My family started going after I got married and now my parents go at least twice a year. Do you like living there? I really want to see Blue Man Group sometime...it seems so interesting! It looks like you and your parents had a blast. You can tell they are completely in love with Maddie...its adorable!

How fun!!! I've always wanted to see that show, I've heard such great things about it. What a great night out on the town (and how sweet of your dad) ... you guys deserve it!

FUN!! I've seen the Blue Man special on PBS (yes I'm a stud. ha ha), and I loved it. It's like sensory overload. I'm sure it was amazing live. What a nice Daddy you have. :)

Fun! I saw BMG in Boston a while back and they are just amazing. It's such a cool show ... nothing else really like it. I'm glad you guys had a great night out!

That sounds like so much fun. I don't think I've ever been to a show in Vegas (can't say for sure as I have a terrible memory). :) The Blue Man Group looks and sounds like a winner!

I have heard that the blue man group show is pretty great. I have always wanted to go...but, you know how it goes...not yet. I bet you are having so much fun with Emily there. I would totally take advantage of that free sitter!

Hi my name is Tara and my husband Dan works with your husband. I think your blog is what got Dan to start ours. Anyways we like blue man group too and want to take our kids. I was reading your book previews and I LOVE the Twilight series I just got back from meeting Stephenie Meyer in SLC for the Host. We'll have to visit at the next work outing.

I've always wondered how Blue Man was. I've heard different reviews but I would like to see it someday. Glad you had fun w/your family.
