4 THUMBS UP!!!!

This is like toddler heaven! We are hooked, lifetime costumers! Chris and I both agree that our day today ranked in the top 5 of our best days ever! We took over 160 pictures! The girls had a BLAST (we had a great time too!) To put it into better terms the girls we knocked out at 640 tonight!

This morning we got up and gave both girls a bath got dressed and out the door we went. Chris and I both had gotten everything together last night, so this morning went very smoothly. There was a small hiccup in the directions (there was a road closed) but we made it there, and didn't have to pay any tolls! :-)

As soon we got there Lily started... 'Elmo!!!' She knew and was extremely excited. We got through security with our contraband (bottled water, and snacks- we are such outlaws!). We then got right in line for Breakfast with Elmo and Friends! The building that this is in is so nice. We got to meet Elmo, Bert & Ernie, Zoe, and Big Bird! We got in line for Big Bird, and Bert & Ernie, then we got to our table and we got started with breakfast. Elmo had a long line so we waited until we were done eating. The great part is that while we were eating the characters would mingle. Ernie came back over and he and Lily were blowing kisses to each other. Bert also came over and gave high fives! It was so cool!

After we were done enough with breakfast we made a break for it over to Elmo. Oh my, it was like she saw Elvis! We all got to take a picture with him (of course we bought it!). We were headed back to our table and Zoe was there, so we stopped to see her, and she gave Big Bird hugs again! We finished our breakfast, and we were heading out and Lily wanted to see Elmo again. Chris took Charlotte out to get into the stroller and she and I headed back over for one more hug. She left blowing kisses and telling him she would 'see you later!'

We headed out into the park and found our way to Elmo's world. Chris and I took turns taking her on the rides. She was all smiles and laughs. Then we basically stumbled onto a small building, that had a large number of strollers outside of it, we took a closer look and it was a show for Elmo's World. It was like being at a taping of Elmo's World.

We headed for lunch after that. The kids lunch came in a Elmo head! After lunch it was time to go claim our spot for the parade! It was so nice, and we found a great shady place to sit. Cookie Monster gave Lily big hugs at one point.. she didn't like it at first but as he was moving on she waved and smiled ear to ear!

We hit the water park for just a few minutes, by this time it was about 400 and the girls were fading fast. So with promises of ice cream Lily said bye to the pool and we made our way out of the park for the day. Lily was so tired when we got back she had a huge temper tantrum. I think that it was just an overwhelming day. The best part for me is that during the day at odd times she would run over and give me kisses and hugs. She would also do that with Chris. We were putty!

Tomorrow we are headed back for one more day of fun. We are going to go over later in the morning. We have scheduled dinner there with Big Bird and Friends. We want to pace them better for that.
