Sesame Place was a bit of a disappointment.  That's most likely my own fault.  I thought it was an amusement park.  Maybe it is, but it doesn't seem like it.  They only had three rides:  roller coaster, teacups, and the balloons.  Everything else was just activities for kids, such as:  ball bounce, moonbounce, etc.  They also had this really huge Net adventure type thing for the kids smack dab in the middle of the park.  It would probably be really cool to go in the summer time, they did have <b>alot</b> of water rides. 

DJ absolutely loved the roller coasters.  I mean really did.  He went on them about 12 times the whole time we were though.  He doesn't take after his mother because I'm not a roller coaster person! 

We were supposed to meet up with a friend of DJ's from school while we were there.  I'm friendly with his mommy.  She's really great!  DJ's wasn't too excited about the friend.  They didn't come until after 12 and we were about ready to eat lunch.  DJ happily "ditched" them.  See what I get for trying to work on this kid's social skills?

The food there was incredibly expensive.  I plopped down almost $30 for lunch.  I'm just talking plain old burgers.  I almost passed out:)

As we were sitting down to eat, another of DJ's friends started knocking on the window.  Him and DJ were trying to take to each other through the window.  Next thing you know the kid is telling DJ he's coming in.  I'm also friends with his mother.  He was with a woman I didn't know though.

He came rushing in and you'd think he and DJ hadn't seen in each other in years.  They were all over each other hugging, laughing, telling each other they missed the other.  His friend (F1) wanted DJ to come out and meet his aunt (FA).  I walked them out and met her as well.  Very nice woman.  She said they were here with F1's daddy (FD).  I met him a few weeks ago at F1's birthday party and we are on the same online listserv together.  He gave me a big hug (?). 

By this time DJ and F1 are inseperable.  DJ does not want to come back in and eat.  FD decided we'll ALL go in and eat, this way DJ and F1 could stay together. 

We wound up spending the rest of the day with them.  The kiddies got along great!  I talked with FA alot.  She was telling me that FD had the boys on Fridays and Saturdays and is looking for something to do with them.  She said she goes out with them every Saturday to help out.  F1 has a little brother (FLB) who is about 3 or so.  They have different interests so it's easier to for two adults to come along.  She felt it would be great if we could get together on Saturdays so F1 and DJ could hang out together and develop a great friendship.  I'm all for it.  She spoke to FD and he is gung ho as well.  He's very friendly as well.

At the end of the day we exchanged phone numbers and addresses so we can take the boys out on the weekends together.  All in all it was a very fun day!
