Buddy and Elmo

Saturday afternoon we made our first trip to Sesame Place in almost a year and a half!  We didn't join this year as Ariel was too young and Aden was kind of at an in between age.  We did though get season tix for next year.  It opened at 10.  We got there at 11 and barely found a parking spot.  

 Dorothy and Leonardo the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle were ready to go!

 First they went trick or treating.

 Pose for pictures!  As you can see Buddy was also there.

 Same maze as last year.

 I might have mentioned that whenever Aden sees a show with characters he just kind of stares and doesn't say a word.  We weren't sure how Ariel would react.  

 At first like Aden.

 Same show as the last few years.

 All serious.

 That all changed when she saw Elmo.  She jumped up and started dancing!

 She was funny.  Talking to the other little girls and clapping and dancing.

 That's her hand grabbing the Count's.

 It was $5 to play once!  

 Aden wanted to climb so I went with him and Amy took Ariel to meet Elmo.

 Let me just tell you, after about 200 feet of these tunnels, I was not happy.

 Packed.

 Someone else wasn't happy.  Some person took this for Amy and it's very fuzzy but you can just about see that Ariel is terrified of Elmo!

That wasn't fun.  I guess she likes Elmo from a distance.

 Let's bounce.

 Someone needed a lift.

 It was hard for her to get up.  Aden had to help.

 Buddy and Elmo hanging out.

 Someone got tired!
