Sesame Place

On Thursday we went to Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA...less then an hour away. All Anheuser-Busch parks like Sea World, Busch Gardens, Sesame Place etc. have a program called Here's to the Heroes which allows an active duty military member and 3 dependents to enter one of their parks for a day, each year, without admission. In the fall of 2006 we went to Sea World compliments of this program while we were at DisneyLand. Leave it to a beer company to have a great policy like this...they know that they are wise to wine and dine their military audience.

This week we took advantage of the program with a day trip to Sesame Place. My girls never really watched that much Sesame Street but they still had a blast and recognized some of the characters. We anticipated having to pay for at least one ticket since the description basically says a family of four, but the kind lady at the ticket booth gave each of us a complimentary ticket. In addition, they have VIP lines for military for purchasing tickets and for going through security...we were in the park in less then 10 minutes while the average family probably had a 30 minute wait to purchase tickets and stand in the security lines. Nice!


The day started off gray and sprinkled but the temperatures were already in the 80's by 10am so despite the lack of sunshine it was still warm.
Baileigh, who is our fish, loved the water rides and the fact that she was old enough and tall enough to go on several of them alone! That fact made her seem so old to me!




We got off a ride just in time for the afternoon parade. Baileigh doesn't really care who the character is...but she is at the age where she loves to hug them and borderline attacks them if we don't restrain her!
We went to an Elmo show and Baileigh was selected to be fish and help Elmos dance. She is in the pink dress with the pig tails in the front left of the screen. She was frustrated we had to stop going on rides to sit through this show for her little sisters, but once she was selected to go up on stage she thought the whole thing was a lot cooler! That was her quote "that was cool!"
