Big Fun with Big Bird

We had a great little vacation to Sesame Place in Pennsylvania (outside Philly) last weekend. Its a theme park (owned by the same folks who own Bush Gardens & Sea World) that is totally for kids under about 7. As it's about 70% water park - the camera had to stay in the locker most of the time. But, we had a fun "Dinner with Big Bird & Friends" Friday night which you can see Lilly loved. Lilly would want me to tell you that she went on all the water slides and that she was "really brave of it." Enjoy the pics....

Lilly & I drove to DC Thursday night, heading up to PA Friday morning & spending a long, fun day at teh park on Friday. Maren joined us Saturday morning, and the three of us got to enjoy the park together most of Saturday before heading back to DC late that evening. And Sunday we headed home after seeing Maren's soon to be new house in DC. Very busy & very fun trip....and yes....EXHAUSTED on Monday ;)

Back in DC.....

What a Whirlwind of Days!

Survived my first garage sale Saturday. With a 8 am start time, the first whackos showed up at 6:50 (which I had anticipated, but its still weird). Also weird to tell them its not open and have them sit on my sidewalk and watch us run around and finalize stuff while they just watch!

Sale was incredibly successful, and gracefully over at 1...packed up and took stuff to thrift stores and made it to CHuck E Cheese by 3 where Lilly was hanging out at a buddy's b day party. I managed to stay upright for another 30-40 min or so and then we left that chaos. I was whipped!

But...the big news is that today I took Lilly's carseat out of the car and replaces it with a "big kid" booster seat. SHe is sooooo excited and so thrilled. She wanted to sit in the car and take a pretend practice ride. How has she grown up so quickly?
