Family Trip to Sesame Place

We decided to take Aaron and Helena to visit Sesame Place in Longhorne, Pennsylvania this summer. We spent two days visiting the park and the kids loved every minute. Stacie's mother and sister came along too with Aaron and Helena's cousin Lexi.

Aaron and Helena loved riding up in the air in the balloons, although it was hard for them to see over the seat.

The line was very long to get a picture with Zoe, so we just took her picture and waved instead

We had a chance to see an Elmo Live show, Aaron and Helena loved being up close!

We had our photo taken on the front step on Sesame Street

Earnie's Waterworks: A small water play area designed for children under the age of 5. The water didn't spray too hard and there were lots of areas the kids could play with the water.

Aaron enjoyed playing with this oversized faucet

Helena spent a great deal of time with this water toy. The water came splashing down several tunnels and she was able to manipulate how much came out using this divider type toy

Fouth of July Celebrations

On July 4th we celebrated our country's independence and Aaron and Helena's cousin, Anna's, fourth birthday. Stacie's brother and his family visited from New York for the weekend. Aaron and Helena spent most of the day swimming in Grandma and Grandpa's pool and playing with their cousins.

Aaron and Helena both enjoyed the birthday cake!

Helena was very drawn to her cousin, Maggie, who turned one in May. Helena liked sitting and playing with her and was very careful to help her walk through tricky doorways and around the table and chairs
