I Met Someone...

  FAMOUS! Tuesday afternoon I saw on Facebook that Ricky Martin & Luke Kennedy was going to be on the Queen Street Mall stage on Wednesday. I have never met or been even close to a celebrity. We have been watching The Voice Australia this season and really like it. EL loves music!
  So EL and I hopped on the bus and headed into the city. We got there nice and early. Probably one of the first 30 people. Had a snack then went to stand near the stage and wait. EL did great waiting. I was really nervous about her having to use the toilet right when Ricky and Luke showed up. But luckily that situation didn't arise. I had to hold EL because the barrier was higher than she was tall and there were so many people crowded around us. Of course she fell asleep. Nothing like holding a sleeping 3 year old for 2+ hours. I now know that if I was on Survivor I could totally rock the challenge when they have to hold something in one position for a long time.
  The stars arrived and did an interview. EL woke up just as Ricky Martin and Luke Kennedy came down to meet a few people in the crowd. We were lucky enough to get a handshake! And Ricky Martin stopped to tell EL she was beautiful! That made the waiting, holding a sleeping 3 year old for 2 hours, and getting slightly crushed by the crowd worth it. My photos were limited by the 9News flag and said sleeping child but overall the day was a success!
 Security guy #115 and I were good friends by the end.
 These next 2 pics are the same pic, just different angles. Where we stood vs all the photographers on the stage.
