A girl and her Elmo

Mike and I said we weren't going to be "those" parents -- the ones who spend obscene amounts of money at a theme park for a child too young to remember or appreciate the experience.

But when I read in the paper that Sesame Street was putting on a production this summer at SeaWorld, all rules went out the window. Julia loooooves her Elmo.

The lines, the crowds, the scorching August Florida heat, the $7.29 kid meal were sooo worth it just for this moment:


Another good moment -- the look on her face when Elmo, Abby, "Cookies" Monster, Grover and Rosita came on stage:




More pictures from our day. The first one is me trying to get Julia to tell Elmo bye-bye. She wanted to stay and play with him:








By the way, we still have every intention of telling Julia that Disney World is really, really far away until she's at least 5, maybe 6.

Good luck with that.
Anja learned real quick that Disney was in Florida.
