Can you tell me how to get......

To Sesame Place! I love this park. It is so fun and cute. We met our friends Josh and Emily and their two little boys, Micah (6) and Issac (2) at the park. They live in Pennsylvania so we don't get to see them very often. It was great spending the whole day together.
 We rode the roller coaster (super grover) first and then the swings. It was Laneah's first time on the swings and she loved it.
 Brooklyn and Issac waiting patiently to ride Elmo's flying fish.

 Emily and sweet Issac.
 This is the slowest slide on earth (Jason seriously had to use his feet and walk down it) but Brooklyn still had a huge smile on her face when she came down with daddy.
 Posing for a family shot while waiting to ride the teacups. Brooklyn's face is classic.

 After riding the rides we went for our lunch with Elmo and friends. Laneah was in love with Abby and Elmo, but did not like the Count or Cookie Monster. She gave Elmo and Abby endless hugs and kisses, but went hysterical when Cookie and Count came to the table. The lunch was great. It was nice to sit in an air conditioned room and give the kids a break. The characters sang songs and came around to all the tables  to say hi. 

 We were sitting right next to Big Bird and Brooklyn kept trying to get his attention. 
 Micah and Issac loved Cookie Monster.
 Brooklyn wasn't sure. She liked the characters, but not that close unless mommy was holding her.
 Elmo!
 Brooklyn ate one chicken nugget and then grabbed this cupcake and went to town. 
 After lunch it was time for the parade. Micah and Laneah checked out the map while we waited for the parade to start. Despite the age gap, Laneah and Micah got along great. They talked, played and held hands. Adorable!

 We saw all the characters in the parade. It was a new parade this year so that was fun.


 After the parade, we went to the water park. Unfortunately I do not have a water proof camera so I don't have any pictures of that, but since I already have so many pictures on this post, it probably doesn't matter:) Brooklyn fell asleep on daddy on the lazy river so he took her to nap while I took Laneah on some other water rides. We did the water park for a while and then changed and got some snacks. Brooklyn tried popcorn for the first time and was hooked. She wouldn't let go of the bag, lol. 
 Micah with his sucker.
 After snacks and some playing on the playground we saw Elmo's World Live. It was adorable and all the kids had lots of fun. Mr Noodle was funny too.
 Brooklyn made friends with strangers all day. She is really blossiming socially.
 Jason wasn't feeling well and it was getting late so I rode the roller coaster with Laneah once more and we left. Luckily we got two day passes so we will come back again this summer.
Family shot right before we left.

The day was so fun. I had a great time. The ride home was not fun. Jason threw up the whole way home and the kids screamed almost the whole time (2 and a half hours!) but we made it home:) I am glad that we get to go back again. Laneah can't wait to go back, and even though she can't verbalize it, I am sure Brooklyn feels the same.
