Sesame Place

For Mother's Day weekend we decided to head up to Sesame Place for our first visit of the season. We were even able to meet Grandad, Nana, and Aunt Laura there! Kylee was excited and kept telling everyone that Ryland was going to be able to ride on all the rides with her this year. She loved the rides again (that's my girl!). The jury is still out on Ryland though ... he didn't cry or try to get off but he didn't exactly smile either. He just kind of sat there and took it all in. Here are a few pictures from some of the rides. (Although it looks like Nana and Pete went on the balloon ride by themselves, both kids were with them -- it is just hard to see them.)

Then we took a walk down "Sesame Street" and were able to get some good pictures.

So, these are just pictures of Ryland finishing his watermelon for lunch but they were just too cute to not include. : )

One of the biggest accomplishments of the day -- getting close to Abby and Elmo! Last year Kylee enjoyed looking at the characters as long as they were far away. It was a big step when she gave Abby a high five but that was all she would do last year. This year she got close to Abby and Elmo AND even let Elmo give her a hug (with me there too but at least it was a step in the right direction.)

It was a great trip and I'm sure we will be going back again soon! : )
