The Zinghoppers

On Saturday morning, I took the boys to a Zinghoppers show.  We've seen these guys once or twice before for free (once for sure this summer at Cheekwood) but I thought it would be fun to go to a theatre to see them.

The show was at the Boiler Room Theatre at the Factory in downtown Franklin.  The Zinghoppers are putting on 4 shows there over the next month and recording them for a national radio program.

On the way in, Carter got his picture with Conductor Jack (the leader of the group).

Missy & Warren and Heather & Chip brought all their kids to the show as well (left to right: Luke, Carter, Dowden, Will, and Hannah).

The theatre is really small and I originally sat up front with the boys until our friends got there and Carter wanted to join them in the back of the theatre.  Since it is so small, it didn't really matter where we sat.

The kids doing the movements for one of the songs ...

We didn't last in the back for long.  Conductor Jack invited kids to dance up front and that's where we stayed the rest of the show.

Carter and Rylan like to hold hands and dance together (until one gets a little over-zealous and throws the other one).

The kids got to go up on the stage for one song (Carter's on his way back down here).

The show lasted about an hour (perfect for preschoolers).  On the way out, Carter got his picture with one of the characters.
