Sesame Place June 2012 (part 1)

giving the Elmo poster a great big hug! so excited to see Elmo again after our last trip.

checking into the Residence Inn...the girls just loved seeing Elmo.  And Olivia is now officially calling him LaLa, just like Sydney did...so between LaLa (Elmo) and Boppy (Zoe) we are hoping Olivia will learn to say some of the characters names correctly

Hanging out with Cousin Rebecca in the hotel room---sooooo grateful that she was able to join us at the last minute for our trip since Jason had to work all weekend.  i almost did this by myself--but would have been crazy so this worked out fantastic. the girls LOVE Rebecca and we think she enjoyed Sesame Place as much as they did!

We're finally here...after a long car ride and wait, we made it to the theme park for a fun filled weekend

 Big Bird Balloon Race with Cousin Rebecca-one of Sydney's favorite rides

i love the curiosity in her eyes...she was fascinated on this ride--too cute

Ernie's bed bounce--a super large moon bounce with way too many kids jumping around

 sydney and olivia loved all the flower topiary arrangements

Sydney was so serious while waiting to go on the carousel...i just can't get over how much older she looks

Olivia's expressions just kill me...she cracks me up! 

riding the carousel

watching one of the shows...definitely cool to see all the characters dance around

playing around in the Ernie pool...love that i didn't have to go in and we are not quite ready for the rest of the water park/slides/crowds

Olivia took a snooze while sydney enjoyed some pool time




sydney looked so cozy all wrapped up after swimming in the pool

love this one of Sydney hugging Olivia...i hope that they always want to hug each other!

its impossible to get a picture of both girls looking at the camera but we tried to wait patiently...

 olivia was not too happy about waiting to watch the parade and did not want to stay close to the sidewalk

what a cute picture of Sydney and Cousin Rebecca!!! they were having fun shopping in the store!

trying on the Abby hat...i think she was actually begging me to buy the hat. but i know she'll never wear it so i snapped a picture instead

Timing is everything...Olivia would not keep the hat on even though she looked adorable but the picture came out cute anyways...she had fun shopping even though i made her stay in the stroller

Looking cool!
