Elmo's party

(How Emily spent her first trip to Sesame Place)


On Sunday we finally took Sophie to Sesame Place (or "Elmo's party" as Sophie called it). I wanted to go last summer when Elmo was ALL THAT SOPHIE WATCHED (side note, looking back we realize that Elmo was really the gateway drug to all other television shows) but we never made it there and so this year I was determined we'd get there. We even bought a season pass in early spring when they were discounted like 30% so we thought we had this place in the bag. Little did we know, the season pass *only* covered Sophie's admission so we still had to purchase two adult day passes! Overall It was a beastly hot Philadelphia day and quite an expensive day but the sweet, shy, ecstatic look on Sophie's face upon meeting Abby and Elmo was worth it all a million times over. She is still talking about all the fun we had and how she got to meet Elmo and see the parade and ride the rides. And I'm sure we'll go again soon, if not again this year then definitely next. Heck, by then I bet Emmy will be watching Elmo!!
