Sesame Place

This weekend was Sesame Place's annual Holiday Party. Sesame Place is in Langhorne PA, only about 15-20 minutes from our house. We couldn't pass up the opportunity to check out the park and kick off the Christmas season with the Muppets!

Welcome to Sesame Street!

We went on Grover's Teacups.

Mommy and Natalie eagerly waiting for the ride to start.

Natalie loved the spinning! I was the color of Kermit the Frog at this point.

Next we went on Big Bird's Hot Air Balloons.

Up we go!

In the sky!

Daddy and Natalie went on Elmo's Flying Fish.


And Elmo's Peek-A-Bug. I didn't get a good picture of the entire ride. It's basically just like a train (that looks like a bug) on a U-shaped track, and it swings back and forth and rotates around too.

The Monster Maze may have been Natalie's favorite attraction.


Check out the laughter!



We saw a live Elmo's World show!

Here's Elmo and Mr. Noodle's nephew Mr. Noodle.

We were sitting at the very top of the theater right by the aisle, so Elmo made his entrance and exit right next to us! At the beginning he sort of jumped in and startled Natalie.


We also saw Big Bird's Christmas show.

And all his friends were there! Abby, Ernie, Bert, Cookie Monster, The Count, Zoe, Elmo and Big Bird all danced and sang Christmas carols.

And then the snow came out!

The third and final show was Abby's Treasure Hunt. Cookie, Grover, Abby, Elmo, Rosita and Oscar had to use clues to figure out how to open that trunk.

Natalie was so tired at the end of the busy day that all she had the energy to do was sit in Daddy's lap and say "oooh!"

As we were heading out, we saw a few characters mingling for pictures. Rosita and Grover:

And Bert and Ernie.

We had such a fun day! I can't wait to take Natalie back during the summer when the water rides are open. I think she'll love it!
