We drove to Sesame Place in Langhorne, NJ. We got there about the time they were opening. We headed toward the dry amusement rides. Savannah was able to ride most of the rides with an adult, so we switched up. Didn't really have to wait in lines. =) She was terrified of the Elmo free fall ride and wouldn't go down the tube slide, but really liked the Elmo flying pig and Big Bird's hot air balloon ride. After lunch we saw an Elmo's World live show, that really got Savannah's attention. The expression on her face when Elmo walked in was priceless! After the show we changed into bathing suits and did a little bit of the water attractions before leaving around 3:30. Misty made us a nice dinner that evening. =)

She loved these little push train cars. We couldn't get her out of them!

We went to the Philadelphia Zoo with Misty, David, Tommy, and Lindsey, Lauren, Brooklyn, and Nana. We had 5 kids under 5, so that meant lots of stopping and taking care of needs. We couldn't even make it out of the driveway without potty breaks. HAHA. When we got there we realized that all the local schools must plan a field trip to the zoo the last week of school! We had to fight crowds to see animals in the morning, but by mid afternoon they all left and it gave us some time to enjoy the zoo. Savannah enjoyed the children's zoo the best...especially petting and feeding the goats. We were going to ride the giant hot air balloon that takes you up to see the city and brings you back down, but they said it was too windy. That would have been a neat experience!
I just love this picture
She loved brushing the goats!
She walked up to this cow statue and somehow knew just what to do?!

We left the Delk's house and headed toward NY. On our way we stopped at the Crayola Factory in Easton, PA. The Mapquest directions that we had gotten, routed us through every windy/twisty back road we could have taken. I think in the mean time, Savannah got car sick. We were 2 blocks from arriving, and she got sick all in her carseat. We had to make a detour in a gas station parking lot and attempt to clean up the mess. So after that, we wasn't quite herself for a while. The Crayola museum has Canal Museum attached with it, so we started on those floors. There are lots of hands-on interactive stations set up for kids to explore building materials and such like. We then moved to the Crayola floor. There also lots of hands-on things to do there. Savannah loved getting to put the coins we were given into the machine and get markers and crayons! After we left we headed up to NY and arrived in Sidney around 4:30. We went to church with the Bailey's. Savannah was excited to see a stuffed Elmo marking her place in a pallet made for her in Grandmama and Granddaddy's room at the Bailey's.

She loved getting to put her money in the machines to get markers and crayons!
I was surprised that Savannah wouldn't stand by the crayon by herself to have her picture taken.
