Fourth of July @ Sesame Place (070210-070510)

Happy Birthday America!

Chris was able to take some time off over the long weekend so we planned a very last minute trip to Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA. We had absolutely perfect weather for the 4 days and of course had an amazing time. Leah was so excited about seeing Elmo that she woke up saying "Elmo?...Play?...Dun?...Mom? at 7:26 in the morning! If you know our Leah, you know that she normally doesn't wake up until closer to 9:00 AM. Here are some pictures of the 2 days we spent at Sesame Place:

Elmo Rocks Show

Leah in the Teeny Tiny Tidal Wave

Getting ready to go The Count's Splash Castle (No waterproof camera = No pictures...Sorry!)

 

Leah and I went on Flyin' Fish

You control how high you want to go and of course we had to go to the top :)

 

Chris and Leah went on Peek-A-Bug

I thought it only went back and forth but it actually spins and goes sideways as well

(Chris' hand is under Leah's bum to protect her cheeks from getting burned on the black seats)

Parade

Leah loved Elmo far away, but as soon as he would touch her, she would pull back...that went for all the characters LOL

 

After the parade, Leah kept saying "Neigh Neigh"...so we went on the carousel

 Leah had an absolute blast at Ernie's Waterworks

Leah kept waiting for the water to spit up and when it did...it hit her right in the face LOL

Leah loves tunnels, but she was only able to crawl through it 2 or 3 times because a little girl would sit in there and wouldn't budge for anyone so the kids had to crawl over her or turn back around (All I have to say is "WHERE WERE HER PARENTS!")

We did a lot more, but unfortunately we couldn't capture everything because we didn't have a waterproof camera. Leah had so much fun on Big Bird's Rambling River that we went on it probably 4 or more times. It's basically a lazy river ride in a tube...she even almost fell asleep on it cause it was so relaxing!

What We've Been Up To Since The Last Post

WOW...lots have been going on in the Grosso house since my last post with Leah's ABC video that I don't really even know where to start!

I guess we'll start with the BIG NEWS!! For those that don't already know, we are expecting our 2nd child at the end of this year (Dec. 21 is the due date & NO, we haven't posted this info yet on Facebook so please refrain from commenting on our pages. You can leave a comment here though, if you'd like - just select "anonymous" if you don't have an acct.).

Here's a sono picture of our lil jellybean at 7 weeks & 6 days old (Jellybean is facing down with head curled on the right and legs are to the left...very hard to see, I know):
We will find out the gender early August so we'll keep everyone posted.

My mom and sister came to visit in May for 3 weeks. They flew into Montreal so we went up there to pick them up and then drove them down here:

The youngest in the family as of right now...my cousin's baby Rome (Ro-me)

Oh my...not sure what got into Cody, but I've never seen that face before...at least I know he can look vicious in case he needs to one day LOL

Poor Cody...he sooo wanted to go in the water, but we didn't have a towel to dry him off :(

After my mom and sister left, it seems like every weekend we have something planned. It's just been extremely busy, but fun at the same time.

Leah and I went over to a friends for a nice swim...Leah enjoyed every minute!

We had some friends from Nashville, TN that came in to visit. It was a beautiful day for a cookout and some fun with ladder ball.

I'm not really sure what Leah is doing to snowy bear, but I'm not liking it (that was my bear growing up and now Leah better take good care of him or she's history LOL)!
