Mother's Day with Elmo

We spent Mother's Day weekend at Busch Gardens! We love the park, and Ella loves all the rides and having lunch with Elmo and friends :) So much fun celebrating the weekend with my two monkeys.

Saturday started off just as any trip with a two year old and a newborn should -- Ella had a giant meltdown in the hotel when she saw gummy bunnies in the diaper bag, but her mean parents would not let her eat them for breakfast. However, these mean parents eventually decided to spare the other hotel guests and did allow Ella princess her gummy bunnies. Then, as soon as we arrived in the parking lot at Busch Gardens, Cooper promptly pooped all over his cute orange and blue outfit, and Mom only had an old sleeper to put him in that had been in the diaper bag for weeks. Despite the craziness, we were laughing the whole time. This is what being a mother means! :)

I am beyond lucky!



Lunch with the Sesame Street gang...

Braver this time than she was last time we visited...


Her favorite part - Elmo cupcakes!

Ella refused to take a picture with Cookie Monster, so Cooper stepped in.

Petting Sausage after his big performance.






Riding the rides with Preston -- the son of one of my sorority sisters who lives in Williamsburg. How fun to be able to visit Busch Gardens all the time!

Smashing grapes. (Ella wanted to know where the grapes were).
