Finaally Abby Cadabby came over
We had a fantastic 4th of July and anniversary celebration in Pennsylvania at Sesame Place. It was like de ja vu since 3 years ago we were here at the exact same time. Savannah was Seth's age, but he had way more fun and so did she. At 2, she was afraid of the characters and a lot of the attractions, but at FIVE she LOVED everything--shows, parades, rides, water activities, characters and even fireworks. This is the first time we did not have to take her out for fireworks. She said, "Mommy, I love fireworks now. I am 5 and I am not afraid anymore. I am a big girl." Seth loved everything too. It was a super trip and the kids could have stayed longer. Even though Sesame Place isn't a big park, the kids stayed in the water for 2 hours each day and kept doing the same things and loved it just the same. It is perfect for pint sized people.
As an extra bonus we got to see lots of friends. The first night we went out to dinner with our friends Tina, Dan, and Ava from her in CT and their friends who we just met who were so nice. Then on Sunday our friend Melissa and her daughter Gabby went to the character lunch with us and we watched the afternoon parade together. Gabby and Savannah also did some climbing and jumping games together. They are so adorable together and are instant friends. Then in the evening a friend from NY who know lives in PA close to Sesame Place met us for the evening parade, fireworks, and dinner. We had tons of fun.
For our adult celebration of our anniversary we are going to dinner and comedy show at Mohegan Sun. No matter where we go or what we do, Rich I love you. Happy 17 Years and Many more.
