So we’ve been to Sesame Place three weekends so far this summer and will go back at least 2 more times, maybe 3 this season. We are getting our money out of our season passes! Anyways, Desmond and Eloise don’t really know any of the Sesame Street Characters since we don’t watch the show. Which means that Desmond has decided the park is called the “Parking Lot”. As in “We go to Parking Lot and I ride roller coaster and water slides.” or “Daddy come home and drive to Parking Lot, ride roller coaster.”
Apparently we have not been taking my child to a fun amusement park called Sesame Place, we’ve been taking him to an amusement park called Parking Lot! Dan and I crack up now whenever he says he, but he won’t be corrected. So Desmond loves going to the parking lot!
Here are a couple of pictures from the parking lot of our first two visits. I haven’t downloaded the pictures yet from our most recent visit, which was tons of fun since we met up with friend’s from a message board I am on that have children his age.
Desmond on blast off, it is a ride that goes up and then free falls down and goes back up and down. He loves it!
Desmond enjoying the small 2 foot deep at the highest wave pool. Both Desmond and Eloise love this.
Desmond trying to get his hands to fit in the hand prints of Ernie. Not that he has a clue who Ernie is, but he loves trying to get his hands to fit.
Eloise enjoying the water in the wave pool. Eloise is not a big thrill ride child. In fact she is not a huge ride child. She will do the carousel if she can sit on the bench, but she isn’t overly happy about it. She likes the tiny kids area with big bird’s nest and she loves the wave pool and the other water attractions that don’t include water slides. She also likes the sand. Other then that though, she would rather not go on anything, she didn’t even like flying fish which is basically dumbo, but with Elmo as the ride cars, and she hated the tea cups! She spends a lot of time watching Desmond, since he is a little dare devil and loves all the rides!
Desmond and me on the roller coaster. This is the best picture I have gotten and I try every time. Well best picture Dan has gotten, but the ones I have of Dan and Desmond on it aren’t any better.
On the baby waterslide.
Eloise on the carousel the first time. She tried a horse, but halfway through the ride she wanted down and has refused anything but the bench since.
How Eloise spends a lot of her time at the park

Eloise moving a block in Big Bird’s Nest one of the few things she likes.
We have had a ton of fun at Sesame Place so far, it is a great place for Desmond. Eloise is not as thrilled with it, but she does have fun, even if she does have to wait awhile when we get there as Desmond goes on the roller coaster 3 or 4 times in a row. We normally split up fairly quickly so that Desmond can do a bunch of rides he likes and to let Eloise do something other then sit in the stroller. They both have fun though. The season passes were definitely worth it.
