Philadelphia

Seems like we are always on the go! October 2005 we went to Plattekill for Jon's race then on to visit with Aunt Jill, Uncle Dave and the Gang (no pics), then on to Philadelphia PA for a few days then to Bangor, PA to visit some of our March '02 friends, then on to Levittown PA to visit our friends at Sesame Place! WHEW! We are back home and glad to be here, even though we had a lot of fun!!!

Karly & Bailey in the motor lodge at Plattekill		Since it poured the whole time, this is pretty much all we did while we were there.
We didn't take this picture, but this is where we stayed in Philly.		Karlynne liked lounging around watching TV in her jammies!

At one point, Karly would not settle down until I put her in bed with Bailey - then she slept like a BABY!!!		They were just out cold!

Daddy has to keep his bike indoors when we go to hotels. Bailey likes to pose with the bike!		Bailey knows that this is a Santa Cruz V-10. She knows too much about bikes if you ask me - no need to get her involved in this too!!

Without a lot to do in the hotel , Bailey practices her Flippin Sweet Dance Moves!!		What a doll face. Looks much like her mother.:oP

In the hotel, Bailey had some pet hamsters (little fuzzy animal figurine keychains). They lived in their cage (this lamp) and slept on their bed (a leap pad cartridge). There was a mom hamster (a frog actually) and a baby hamster (a monkey). On a couple of occasions, Mama had to go over and shush them to sleep. The brush is a decoration.		This was the hamster food cooker. The gum is hamster food. The sock is actually the time out for a naughty hamster (a blue penguin). He was rolled up in the sock so tightly and so well that it took Mama a couple of minutes to unravel the whole thing and get the poor feller out of there!

Bailey and Karlynne had a lot of fun wrestling!		Bailey pretty much won every match though.

Kissy Bird also liked to wrestle with her Kangaroo!		Who.....ME????

AHHHHH You got me!		We went shopping when Daddy was working - and we ate Pizza at Famous Famiglia a couple of times and it was AWESOME!

Well, after we were all done in Philly, we went to visit Miss Wendy and her daughter Sam and son Christopher! Miss Joanne came also from NJ and brought her daughter Emily - Sam, Emily and Bailey were all born in March of '02. Here are the girls eating lunch and also watching TV - when I asked for a smile, I got one, but no one would look at me, only the TV!!!

Emily, Bailey and Sam having yummy Baked Ziti and bread!		Watching something REALLY good on TV!!

After our great visit with our friends, we headed to Levittown, PA where we visited our friends at Sesame Place...and boy, did we ever have fun!!!!

Daddy, Karly & Bailey when we first got to Sesame Place!		The girls in front of the cute Birthday topiary - Sesame Place is 25 years old. See Cookie monster? Snuffy is behind him.
We had dinner with all of the Sesame Street friends and it was a lot of fun! Bailey was not too keen on them so she sat with me and helped me take pictures of the characters with Karly.
WHO did you say you were again?????		AAAHHH....BERT! Nice to see you buddy!

Hey that kind of tickles!!		Alright, you better keep it movin', Bert - Cookie Monster is coming up and I need to talk to him for a sec. Catchya later big guy.

Cookie - I been waiting for you all day - I am HUNGRY for some BLUE FUR!!!		Hey, How's it goin', Count? Gimme Five!

Hi Elmo! I love you.		I eat your fur too!

Bailey's only Sesame Street Buddy - Elmo.		No crying - she likes Elmo!!

Hey there, Grover - nice that you could make it!!		Ooh - I love the soft fur - just ONE bite please!!!!

Bailey likes Zoe too - she likes her dress and tiara!		HEY!!!! Ernie High Five!!!

Hey, Got any good scoop for me?		Oh no Ernie - don't say it. Ay yi yi!!!!!

We also got to go around and meet the characters for more pictures!
Bailey was not about to walk up next to Big Bird....He was TOO TALL!!!		Bailey didn't mind getting near Elmo as long as it was on the other side of ME!

Ernie loves Karly		...and we all love Ernie!!

Then there was a cool parade....
