Sesame Place Day 3

Today was our last day at Sesame Place. We were there at 9 for Breakfast with Elmo & Friends, and stayed until it closed at 8. Breakfast was fun, great food, and Landon got to give hugs to Elmo, Bert & Ernie, and Zoe. Today was 80 and sunny so we did some water rides, and rode all of the dry ones too. Landon got more brave each day we were here. He isn't scared around the characters anymore. He went up to everyone today on his own and gave them all hugs and high 5's. After getting his picture with all of them he would wave and tell them "thank you"! We got to see Count, and Landon went through the line twice. We had a great time at Sesame Place and are leaving in the morning to go to Ocean City, MD for the next few days. Over the past 3 days we have spent a total of 27.5 hours at Sesame Place(and Landon LOVED every second), took 420 pictures and about 1.5 hours of videos!

We saw Oscar right when we walked in this morning, we told him to "have a rotten day"!

Sesame Place Day 2

Today we were at Sesame Place from 10-4:30. It was really nice and sunny most of the day and started to rain a little around 3:30 and during the parade at 4. We then came back to the hotel and went into Philadelphia to get cheesesteaks at Pat's & also at Geno's. We both liked Geno's better. Today's big highlight was Landon going all by himself to see Elmo and give him a big hug. We didn't see Count today outside of the parade, so we'll hunt him down tomorrow. We rode lots of rides today. Tomorrow we have breakfast with Elmo & Friends before the park opens, and it is supposed to be sunny and warm so we are doing water rides most of the day.

Sesame Place Day 1

Today was our first day at Sesame Place. We left home yesterday and drove out here to the Philly area. We were at the park when it opened at 10 and left when it closed at 8. We had a great day, and Landon was terrific as always (even without a nap). Landon was so excited for the past couple months saying how he was going to hug Count and give him a kiss on the nose. He was still a little nervous around the first few characters we saw, but by the end of the day he was high-fiving them all and taking great pictures as you will see. Check out the video of when we saw Count to see if Landon did what he had been dreaming about for awhile. The last video is from the 1st show we saw "Elmo Rocks". As they sat down they came over and asked me if I could help out during the show. Needless to say, me and 2 other dads had to get up in the middle and dance with Zoe, and Kelsey was taping the whole thing. Stay tuned as we post more pictures throughout the week.

A day at the beach and the Splash Pad

Yesterday we went to the beach. It was a really nice day. Upper 70's and sunny. Lake Erie was freezing (about 60 degrees) but Landon didn't care. He had a blast playing in the sand and in the water. There was a really nice sand bar, so we could walk really far out in the water and it stayed really shallow and clear. We were at the beach for four hours and then Landon took a four hour nap!

Since it is officially the first day of summer today for Landon and I, we went to the splash pad in town this morning. Landon had fun playing in the water and splashing around!

Have a great week everyone!

We ate breakfast outside before we headed to the beach and this is Landon just hanging out on the deck!
