Elton Jack & Bigshot

Billed as Tour de Force - a tribute to Elton John and Billy Joel, Friday night at Taronga Zoo was shaping up to be a fun evening out. After the previous success taking my 2 year old to Bjorn Again last month, I was feeling quietly confident. We weren't running late and there were no tantrums in the car. Even had a picnic blanket this time.

Unfortunately, Elton Jack and Bigshot didn't seem to cut the mustard for my little one. He was more interested in the elephant that stood right behind us for the entire concert and spent much of the evening digging a moat in the mud around my picnic rug and asking when the ladies were coming out. Seems he's more of an ABBA fan.
