Sesame Place

Our first stop on our summer trip was Sesame Place.  Ryan LOVED it!  It was a very nice park.  There were a lot of people there, but it was spread out enough that it wasn't overwhelming.  They had both wet and dry rides and Ryan tried both, but preferred the dry rides.  We spent one day here and that was the perfect amount of time.  We arrived in the morning, stayed for a couple hours, had lunch and then went back to our hotel for a rest.  We returned to the park in the afternoon, had dinner and stayed for the parade.  Unfortunately, just as the parade was about to start it started to thunder, lightening and pour, so the parade was cancelled and we made a mad dash back to our car before the worst of the weather hit.

Out of all the rides, this was Ryan's favorite.  They were train cars that you used a lever to make move, kind of like a rowing machine.  He happily moved himself along the whole track -- it was A LOT of work!  His favorite part was going through the tunnel.



The lazy river -- his favorite water ride!



Big Bird's Hot Air Balloon Race

Waiting to see Elmo Live!

Elmo and Ryan's favorite -- Mr Noodle!  The only time it rained during the day was when we were in this show -- it was perfect timing!  We also saw Cookie Monster, Super Grover and Zoe.  Ryan liked seeing the characters from FAR away, but didn't want to have anything to do with getting close to them.  We would have taken a picture of them -- if we had remember our camera!


Peek-A-Bug -- Ryan loved this ride.

The first ride he rode, Elmo's Flying Fish! 

That's all we have for pictures.  I forgot the camera when we went in the morning.  Thought I would remember it when we went back in the after our rest, but I didn't.  So, I had to buy a disposable camera.  Taking pictures the "old fashion" way reminds of how nice it is to use a digital -- you get to see your picture right away and you aren't limited to 27 exposures!

We had a lot of fun!  What a great park for a preschooler!
