August 12, 2011: Temperatures in the low 80s with no humidity and no clouds. A gorgeous day for sun, friends and ELMO!!
My high school "crew" went. All ten of us--5 adults and 5 kids. Mikey had come down with a cold and was up WAAAY past his bedtime the night before so we weren't sure how the day was going to roll. It went great!
We arrived at 10:00 when the park opened (only took 40 minutes from Manalapan) and stayed until 5:00pm (Erin made it with Jimmy until 7 and the Tolska family stayed until it closed at 8!).
Highlights of the day were the parade and "Elmo's World" show. I cannot imagine what was going through the kids' heads as they saw their favorite Sesame Street character inches away from them. It must be so confusing and exciting all at the same time! (I do know what was going through my head since right before the show started Mikey peed through his swim diaper and through my shorts and down my legs. Awesome ......)
Kaylie and Mady participating in the parade!
Mikey was mesmerized!
Mikey LOVED the train ride. He rode it 10 times in a row!
The water park area (which was a majority of the park) was a tad overwhelming for Mikey, as he insisted on being held by Mommy the whole time.
Notes for next year by Mommy & Daddy: Plan on going during the middle of the week to hopefully avoid the crazy crowds that we experienced on a Friday (definitely avoid a weekend trip!) OR try to visit in spring or fall.
