Sesame Place!

After spending a week at Nannie & Grandpa’s house, we headed straight to Sesame Place to put our season passes to good use! We thought that since it was the end of summer, and the middle of the week, we might be able to beat the crowds, but we were wrong! EVERYBODY was thinking the same thing, and it was VERY busy, but we had a great time anyway! We thought Emily might be brave this time, and want to try the roller coaster, but she claimed that she’s still not big enough, and wanted to wait a little longer… maybe next time!

Daddy and Abby went on the fun “up and down” ride, and Emily even waited in line with them until she chickened out at the last minute… we had fun anyways!

Ben loved riding the caterpillar ride with mommy too!

Daddy doesn’t like the teacups much, so he let mommy take us all on it, while he snapped a few pictures! Ben LOVED trying to make us spin!

After a fun filled day, we piled into the car to head home, but about 20 minutes into the trip, mommy & daddy stopped to surprise us with a special treat!

We LOVE staying in hotels!!!!!

Ben is a LITTLE bit more work now that he is VERY good at crawling, and he gets into EVERYTHING! Mommy liked it better when he stayed where she put him!

When we headed back to Sesame Place for day 2, we knew it was going to be busy again, so this time we had a plan… We were the first ones in line, and headed straight for the big waterslide as soon as the gates opened. Even Emily was brave enough to go on it this time! Mommy got some great shots of us coming down! It was awesome!

Next, we headed straight for the other waterslide, and Abby was finally big enough to go all by herself this time, and loved every minute of it!

We loved taking Ben to his very first Elmo show, and he loved watching them on stage!
