One of Tyler's birthday gifts was to spend the day at Sesame Place. It was a great way to officially start the summer and enjoy the adventures of the park. It opened at 10:00 and we arrived just after 10. Tyler was so excited and kept saying the whole way "are we there yet?" He had all sorts of plans to talk with Elmo and meet all his friends. He brought his Elmo phone and kept calling him on the drive to the park. It was hilarious. As soon as we walked into the park we were able to go right to "Elmo's World". It was exactly like the TV show but live and in person. Tyler's face was half excitement half awe. He couldn't believe he was watching the "real" Elmo and see his "room". It was actually really fun for me too because it's the one show the two of us watch because it's always on when I first put Matty to sleep and Ty always wants me to "snuggle" with him during the show. The show became a useful tool to keep Ty quiet while I put Matty to sleep and now it's become a part of our day. It was a great way to start our time at Sesame Place.
About half of Sesame Place is a water park. The day was warm enough to want to go into the water. Both Adam and Tyler seemed to really enjoy splashing in the together. Tyler even went down a slide by himself and was very proud he did it all by himself.
One of the neatest parts of Sesame Place is how an exact replica of Sesame Street was created. You could explore Mr. Hooper's General Store, play on the fire truck, and see the steps where they're always singing songs and reading books.
This pyramid was probably one of Tyler's favorite things to do. He discovered it with Adam. It's actually quit high and you try to climb the very top. Tyler almost did it but seemed to like sliding down as much as climbing up the pyramid. After the parade down Sesame Street this was the one thing he wanted to go back and do again.
The four of us were able to take Big Bird's balloon ride together. The "balloon" went high enough in the air to see all of the park. Adam thought it would be fun to spin it around really fast and Tyler surprisingly really enjoyed it. I was holding onto Matthew as he tried to figure out what was happening around him. It was very cute. I love this picture because I can hear Adam and Tyler giggling and having a great time.
By about 3:30, we had some very tired boys on our hands. I had Matthew in the ergo carrier fast asleep and Tyler wanted to be held so we put him in Matty's car seat stroller to leave the park. The image was so funny to me because here is this three-year-old in an infant seat and he was so pooped that he could hardly walk out of the park by himself. It was symbolic of the great time that we all had. I was thrilled we decided to go and hope to some day take Matty there too when he's old enough to enjoy all the fun there is to be had. Off to the beach house! Summer is officially here for the Szajda Family!
