Sesame Place

We (andrea and I ) Took Liza and Zander to Seasame Place on Tuesday. For those of you who havn't heard of it, it is like a disney land Idea, but with the Seasame Street Characters insted of Mickey Mouse. We went thinking that the place was an ammusement park. I got on line however and found out that they were bragging about some water rides, so we packed our swimsuits incase we wanted to go on the water ones. We got there and much to our surprize the whole park was a giant water park. Liza, who is afraid of spraying water and showers, was not impressed. Nor was I when she wouldn't do anything and I payed $30 each, for her and myself to get in. I forced her to do a few things, but what fun is that? I was kind of upset until we discovered the other things to do there. They had a Parade of all the characters, much like the main street Parade at Disney Land, but much shorter. Liza LOVED it. When it was over, she looked up the street and said "I wanna see another one Parade." She really loved seeing all the Characters. We got pictures with Elmo, Bert and Ernie, cookie monster and Grover. Then we went to the shows that they had. They did an animal show that Liza loved, and one that was like a live filming of "Elmos World." which is a segment on Seasame Street that little Elmo fans love. They talked about Dance, and had the children (and some crazy senior citicens :-) dancing in their rows. She just loved this, and at the end of it they had the children dance, and put them up on the big screen, so that they were on Elmos world. Liza did have a good time, she talks and talks about it. But my reveiw is, unless your 2 year old loves water, it isn't worth $30 to take a 2 year old. I would say the ideal ages to take a child to this park would be 4-11 yrs old. I think it would be very fun for a family with kids these ages.

$$$$$$


Here is something for Alexanders Scrap Book.
The Hospital sent us a copy of the charges made to the insurance company. Detailing the cost of care for the birth and Intensive care Alex received. The First bill was for Labor, Delivery and Recovery. This bill was $8,708.40!
The Second Bill was for Alexs first 2 days in intensive care. This one was for $15,318.55! Then for the next 13 days in the Transitional Nursery the bill was 40,186.90! Just so that you don't have to get out your calculators, the grand total is...........................

$64,813.85!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Boy am I glad we had insurance. I am not sure what the monitor is costing on a dayly basis, but the little man is still running up a tab I am sure!
