Sesame Place

Eric had a week of vacation the week Hayden started school.  Because our county is a staggered start, Hayden only had to go in to meet the teacher on Tuesday and go for his first full day Friday.  We decided to plan a fun overnight getaway with the boys since we were not able to do a family vacation this summer.  I had found a program on-line that gave active duty military free tickets to a variety of parks so we chose Sesame Place since it was the closest and most age appropriate.  We surprised Hayden on Tuesday night with the news and he was super excited for the trip.  We drove up Wednesday morning and spent the day at the park.  It was a really hot day and the park was really crowded so the lines were crazy.  Hayden picked a couple of water slides and did not seem bothered by the fact we had to wait an hour for each.  We rode a few rides, had lunch, and enjoyed a trip down the lazy river.  We left the park around 5:00 to head to the hotel.  The boys had a blast at the heated indoor pool and it was much more relaxing than the day spent at the park.  Eric and I ordered room service and we watched a movie before bed.  We both agreed we would probably not go back to Sesame Place but we enjoyed the trip and were glad we could get away one last time before Hayden started school.  Here are some pics from the day.....
