Guess Where We Went Today

For those of you who are at a loss, we went to Sesame Place. I remember taking Savannah her first time and the excitement that was elicited by merely driving into the parking lot which is adorned with character signs. The same was true for Lila and Adeline. Lila Grace expresses it more energetically, but Adeline was pretty excited as well. If you couldn't gather it from the video clip, Ernie is Lila's favorite! Elmo is a close second and is number one with the other two girls.

Sesame Place was decorated for Halloween. The girls got to go around to different stations and collect various treats. The favorite was the orange Legos that make a pumpkin. We were invited to attend this even by the Variety Charity It is an organization that supports children with disabilities and developmental delays. It was certainly worth the drive. The girls didn't fuss once and we were there for four hours. They were beside themselves as they tried hard to absorb all characters and Sesame stuff. Oddly enough, they sat still for an Elmo Live show, something their oldest sister wouldn't do until she was four.

We saw all of the important characters. The babies did a double take at first but soon it was hard to hold Lila Grace back. She couldn't wait to run up to Ernie and give him loves. She snuggled him and talked to him. It was hard to get her turn around for a picture. She couldn't believe that "her Ernie" was snuggling her. She didn't want to leave him. The same was true for Zoe and, of course, Elmo. Adeline was excited to see the characters from distance. Their fur was a bit much for her. She was happy for me to hold her take her up close and personal but didn't want to touch them herself. Her love for Elmo almost got her over the hump as she walked right up to him. She then suddenly turned to me and said, "up please."

I will post pictures later. We really had a nice day!
