Sesame Place

Emma loves Sesame Street. It is the only show she watches at home. She requests on a daily basis to watch Elmo on TD (TV). So, when I talked to my sister about going to Sesame Place (they had season passes), I instantly got giddy with excitement for Emma. We opted to get season passes because we travel to Philly for Halloween, and SP has special events for Halloween.

We arrived to SP as soon as it opened. We met Auntie Meghan, Uncle Josh, and Ellie there. For once, daddy was able to come too. Em was so excited to see Ellie. Jackson was so laid back, he could have cared less. It was hot out, but he was his pleasant little self.


All throughout the park there were shrubs that were pruned so neatly...I loved looking at everything.


Meghan has the park scene down pat. She knows what to do first, and where to go. She even brought her refillable tubs with so the kids could have drinks and snacks all day long. We set up shop at the splash park and were on our way to the rides. We are so smart, and got fast passes that allowed us to go to the front of the lines for all rides...it saved so much time because it was so crowded.

The girls and I started off at the carousel. We then made our way around to the neighboring rides and bounce mat. It was GREAT!!




Until...I took Emma to see Elmo Live. She screamed and started shaking horribly. She was asking me to leave. Of all things, I thought she would love it. Not so much!! We left, and met up with Ellie, Auntie, and Uncle Josh. She proceeded to tell Auntie that she was scared and started shaking. She also shared that she didn't like the monsters:)


The 5+ hour day ended with the park parade. The characters come through in a parade. We had great seats. All the characters came up close to us, gave us "5," and danced with the girls. Throughout the whole thing, Tommy had Jackson while I had Emma. He was great for not getting the nap he needed.








We LOVED our day at Sesame Place and can't wait to go back. Both kids were great...without naps!!!
