Sesame Surprise!

We played hookie today and surprised Max and Kira with a trip to Sesame Place!  They were both so great in the car and slept almost the whole way.  When we arrived at our surprise destination, they had one more big surprise- Grandma and Pa were there, too!

We kept our destination a surprise until the very last second.  Max pondered where we might be headed, "to the farmers market??" he guessed.

Max, Pawley, and Kira were very tired in the car

Grandma and Pa, is that you!?

We ran into Bert and Ernie as soon as we arrived.  Max was so excited!

Kira loves Sesame and daddy!

Rub-a-dub-dub Kira and Max, and Ernie in the tub 

"I'm a drink!" Max said as he twirled around in the monster tea cups 

It was a sunny day on Sesame Street, but only 70 degrees.  Max, however, still wanted to brave the freezing cold water to try out The Count's Splash Castle.  

The trek up to the water slide was treacherous!  We were sprayed and splashed with buckets of ice cold water while we walked several flights of stairs.  When we finally made it to the top, Max was to nervous to go down, and everyone had go solo, so Max in mommy's lap was a no-go.  Mommy pretending to go with Max, but pushing him down himself, however, was allowed (in fact, the lifeguard kind of encouraged it...).  Of course mommy was right behind the General, who LOVED the slide so much that he went 100 more times.  So did mommy.  Burrrrrrrr

Max wanted to know what is in Oscars garbage can

Some more QT with the boys before Sesame Street closes

Parade!

Max played the balloon popping game and won twice!  The lady even let him help blow up some of the balloons.
