"Sunny day...sweeping the clouds away..."

The summer is almost over, and we received a letter in the mail reminding us that our Sesame Place passports are only fun if we use them! How funny that they would send that! You think they would keep quiet and just let slackers like us watch the season go by...but maybe they know we will spend a lot of money on food! ha ha ha

Anyway...we squeezed in a day at Sesame Place, and here are some highlights:


First we have Ernie's Water Works. If you remember the story from two years ago... Samantha was just two years old on our first visit to Ernie's Water Works. My mom was with us, and during a conversation between her and Keith, Ms. Samantha - with bare feet and a little pink hula girl bathing suit - wandered away and managed to get herself almost as far as the front gate of the park! Panic set in for several minutes, but I found her bouncing on a staff members lap and holding a crayon in the "Lost Parent Center". That episode haunted me for weeks! All I could think about was, "What if we never found her that day?" Anyway...two years later, it's a faint memory, and Samantha promises not to do that again ever! We'll see!





Then onto Little Bird Rapids:








We plan to make a couple more visits before the season is over so that we won't get another strange letter!

Ah, Elmo has his own land there! It's like he's the star of the place!

It's a relatively small park, but pretty fun. The majority of the place is wet attractions... though suitable for smaller children, there are plenty of things for older kids and adults to enjoy water-wise, and quite a few dry rides that are family oriented. This year they added three new rides centered around Elmo. It's a lot of fun! You'll have to come out and join us some time!
