I heard about Sesame Place from a TV show that I used to watch. Ever since then, I've wanted to take Liv there, exspecially after her 1st carnival. Tim and I finally took her there this past weekend.
We left on Friday afternoon, after a long car ride (around 4 hours. Yikes! GPS problems, Traffic one stop and going to the wrong hotel (whops!)) we finally checked into the (right) hotel, unloaded the car and headed to Sesame Place. It's a theme park made just for kids 7 and under.
We were only able to spend a few hours at the park the first day but Liv seemed to really enjoy the rides that she got on. Daddy and Livi got on the flying fish, then the tea cups and played a few games and had Liv do a painting with her hand print (which they turned into a monkey).
Livi playing one of her games. She won a stuffed animal.

We left for dinner, which the town that we stayed in (Ewing, NJ) had NOTHING to do after 8:00. So we found an open Papa Johns, bought a few cookies (while waiting for the pizzas) and then headed back to the hotel. We ate our dinner (and cookies)outside on the patio while enjoying the breeze and stars and then Livi wanted to go swimming. So we got her "babysuit" on and Daddy and Liv went swimming. Of course, I watched and took many pictures!
Livi showing Mommy and Daddy that she has no fear of the water!
Liv showed Mommy and Daddy how she can jump in the pool all by herself. Of couse, Tim was there to catch her, well some what. She would jump in and Tim was there to get he when she came up.
Finally at 10 after 10, I had to drag her out of the pool. TIME FOR BED!
Saturday, for some reason, me of all people couldnt sleep. Probably from Liv sleeping next to me (Yes, she woke me up at 2AM). So I got up, had an enjoyable cup of coffee in the lobby, watched a little TV, then headed to the gym.
Finally, at 9:00AM, I told Tim that we had to wake Liv up if we were going to go to the park. We ate breakfast, packed our bags, checked out of the hotel and headed back to Sesame Place. We took pictures with Elmo, Abby and Big Bird! Then, Livi enjoyed a few more rides with Daddy. Mommy took her to the water park a few times, then we headed for home. PHEW! What a day!

Yes, Livi was scared of Big Bird!
And she was even scared of Elmo. But we somehow got a really cute picture!
How cute are these kids? Holding their tickets waiting to go on the next ride.
