I don't think I've explained how this trip to Sesame Place came about? Short answer: LilyJ's mommy is amazing. Long answer: the J family just moved to Cambodia and this was to be a "last hurrah" weekend for the two best buddies (I kind of mean Georgia and LilyJ, just kind of). In addition to packing up a house, finding a two-year leasing renter, and nursing an infant, LilyJ's mom planned this whole weekend away. She was brilliant to include a lunch with Elmo before we all hit the road back home. Big Bird was there, too.
True to form, G was not wild about the characters. Abby Cadabby was kind of a lingerer at our table, too.
Georgia was wild about the hotdogs, however.
This totally speaks for itself.
At the end I finally convinced G to stand next to BB for a photo. We also waited in line for a photo with Elmo, but she refused to stand by him. Ah, well.
The conclusion to lunch was a big performance by all the characters, leading to a conga line, naturally. LilyJ was already in the conga line when they announced that there would be a conga line. In other words, she was totally into the party. Georgia on the other hand was kind of skeptical. At this point she tells me she cannot join in the dancing because, "I do not have a lovely dress." Seriously.
Eventually, however, LilyJ's enthusiasm convinced G that it might be ok to just go for it.
LilyJ was not happy when the characters started saying goodbye. The feeling is mutual, LilyJ!
As we walked to the exit, there was one more chance to see someone famous. As usual, Georgia waved from the sidelines while LilyJ posed appropriately.
So cute! Ugh, we miss you already, LilyJ!
