Life as a Leach

We had a great time at Sesame Place during our quick trip to Philly!  Abby discovered her love for Abby Cadabby (except when the wooden cut-out is the same size as her, apparently!) She now insists that her "real" name is Abby Cadabby, not Abigail. Caleb rode his very first "real" roller coaster...twice...and loved it!!  We would have gone again, but the line was too long at that point.   Abby really liked Elmo too, and we even watched a show with all of the favorite characters...and Elmo as Michael Jackson dancing to "Thriller."   Both kids enjoyed climbing the cargo nets, although Caleb went a lot higher than Abby!  I'm secretly kind of glad she didn't want to go up too high...it freaked me out a little!

We didn't get to do the fun stuff we'd planned, so we decided to head up there again--strictly for fun! We went up Thursday evening and stayed in a very nice Spring Hill Suites.  If you go to Sesame Place, I highly recommend it.  You can walk right over to the park and avoid paying parking fees.  The breakfast is very nice and the room is plenty big enough for a family of 4 (or 5, if you have a small one to fit o...

We spent the long weekend in Philly for FUN, not for doctors' appointments!  It was tons of fun, and the kids had a blast.  Here are a few things we saw.. More later!  We are still dealing with a crashed hard drive and hoping to have it fixed soon.  Until then, my computer time is limited. :(
