Elmo Comes to Town

So the Children's Museum's traveling exhibit this summer is Sesame Street Presents: The Body. We were super excited to check it out, even though Addie hasn't really been in to the Sesame Street lately. Elmo was visiting on Saturday and so we took her down to see what she would think.

Holy moly - apparently everybody else had the same idea. It was PACKED and we got there at 9:30 AM (which is a big deal in my world). I stood in the Elmo line (there was line about 50 people long, no joke) while Jeremy took the kids around to see the exhibit. From what I could see from the line, the exhibit looks cool and we will definitely be back at a later date. After we've recovered from the Elmo Mania that was last weekend.

After standing in line for a long time, I was certain Addie would freak because this Elmo guy was HUGE.

Wait for it......

Yay, she finally warmed up to him after I had to sit in the picture. She even blew him a little kiss when our three second (literally THREE second) turn was up. Was it worth it? Absolutely....

Do you SEE that smile??? She couldn't stop talking about "Elmo at the Children's Museum."

Anyway, since the whole top floor was packed with other Sesame fans, we hit up the normally packed but now empty bottom floor. The kids had the place to themselves (practically) and played to their heart's content in the grocery store. P.S. Sorry in advance that every picture of Davis is fuzzy. The kid is literally on the move ALL.OF.THE.TIME.


He carried these (fake) asparagus spears everywhere. So funny.
I think this is why they say to not go shopping hungry. ;)

  1. I love it! Addie's cart looks a lot like ours when we go shopping (as long as hers was filled with mostly crap)!

  6. Looks like alot of fun. My little Nephew would have loved to see ELMO. We took him to a sesame street concert and he flipped out when he saw Elmo he could not believe he was right there. Little kids are so CUTE!!
