What do these pictures have in common?

What is the relationship between these two pictures?

If you haven't already figured out last night we took Brayden to his first show at the Civic Center.  We found out that Madagascar Live was going to be performing at the Civic Center and we debated about taking Brayden.  Was he too young? Would he be scared?  Would he love it?  We went back and forth.  Andrew called the Civic Center to inquire about tickets and found out they had awesome seats still left so we decided to bite the bullet and order tickets.  We figured we would never know if he liked it or not if we didn't try.

So Andrew came home from work with a flier for the show and the tickets.  He asked Brayden if he wanted to go see this show and of course he said, yes! We talked to him about it in preparation but weren't really sure what kind of reaction we would get. 

Andrew dropped B and I off at the doors while he went to get a parking spot.  We were knew we were taking a chance going on a Friday night but we were going to try anyways.  When we went in Brayden held his ticket tight and handed it to the "worker" as he called her.  She scanned our tickets and Brayden looked around wide eyed trying to take it in.  When Andrew got in we quickly went in to find our seats.  We were in the 7th row dead center!  When we sat down Brayden seemed really excited that was until the lights went down and the loud music began.  He was sitting in Andrew's lap and soon jumped into mine.  When the animals came out he smiled but he was still trying to take it all in.  He didn't want to sit in his own seat but he did relax and start to enjoy it.

At intermission he stood for a bit and you could tell he was starting to enjoy it.  The second act started and that is when the true Brayden came out.  He started talking a bit more and really seemed to enjoy the show.  At one point King Julian threw one of the animals and Brayden perked up and said, "No no, why that guy throw him?".  When all of the animals would break into dance Brayden was pointing and smiling at them. 

When the show was done Andrew and I were so glad we took the chance and got tickets.   Brayden seemed to really enjoy himself.  We enjoyed Brayden's reaction to the show just as much as the show itself.  We couldn't take pictures inside the theatre so we stopped for a few pictures outside the theatre.

Of course we couldn't end the night of firsts without a trip through the sky walk.  Brayden stayed up past his bedtime but did great.   We had such a fun Friday night. 

Posing with Daddy

Had to adjust camera settings since the flash was too bright.

Look at that big boy!

Walking up the stairs to check out the sky-walk.

Brayden was amazed looking out the windows of the skywalk at the cars that were driving under us.  I love how this picture turned out!
