Max goes to Sesame Street!

Max left New York this morning, but on the way home he stopped at Sesame Place!  From 11:30am to 6:15pm, Max went on rides, saw shows, and met all of his favorite friends from Sesame Street.  Max currently has a love-hate relationship with The Count; one minute he says, "I'm scared of The Count," and the next minute he wants to hold his toy Count and watch Count videos.  He was so excited to go to The Count's house that when we stopped at a rest area he shouted, "There's The Count's house!"  Perhaps The Count knew Max was eager to see him, because he was the first character we saw on the way into the park. We also found him again later after Max spent the day trying to find him again.  Max was also excited to see Elmo (and a random astronaut) in Elmo's Musical.  He tried desperatly to open the front door of "123 Sesame Street", and was rather frustrated that no one would let him in.  When he met Oscar the Grouch, Max kept asking him to take his hat (garbage can lid) off.  He was a huge fan of Bert and Ernie and waited in line two times to see them.  Max went on nearly every ride; all of which were much faster and higher than any ride he has been on before, but he was not the least bit afraid.  The day was as fun as it was exhausting; Max passed out during the Bert and Ernie show and slept the whole ride home.  He is probably dreaming about all of his adventures on Sesame Street.


Who was more excited to meet Bert and Ernie- Max or his daddy?

Lots of lines, but Max was pretty patient
