We went to Sesame Place on our first day there.
Natalie with Sesame characters made out of plants.
Phoebe and Natalie on the Sesame Carousel
Elmo's World Show which Natalie loved...she kept asking to see more shows
We went to a lunch with Elmo, but all of the characters were there. Natalie loved that she could say hello to all of them. This is her with Big Bird.
Natalie with Zoe.

At the lunch with Elmo, they had all of the kids get up and dance with the characters...the kids LOVED that.

Another show that Natalie loved.
After we left Sesame Place, we drove to Hershey, where we stayed for the next few days.
Natalie at the hotel throwing coins into the fountain and making a wish. She wished for candy!
We went to Chocolate World, which was quite an impressive place. Natalie loved all of the chocolate!
Phoebe and Natalie with all of their loot from the chocolate store
Natalie helped make and package some Hershey's kisses (which she then kept and ate herself).
After we left Chocolate World, we went to Hershey Gardens, which was acres full of amazing flowers.
They had a little Children's Garden for kids that was really neat.
Natalie in front of some of the flowers
This is Natalie in the butterfly garden. You can't really see any butterflies in this picture, but there were hundreds of them.
Natalie got tired of walking, so Phoebe gave her a piggy back ride.
Natalie and Phoebe in front of the rose gardens. This picture doesn't really do the rose garden justice...it was absolutely amazing.
This was our third day at Hershey Park. I was amazed at how many rides they had for little kids.
Natalie loved that she could ride most of the kiddie rides by herself.
Phoebe and Natalie in the rocket ship ride
Natalie riding on a dinosaur ride
Natalie on the swings (that she rode about 4 times in a row)
Natalie on the mini tilt-a-whirl
Natalie loved this ride as well, and there was no line, so we had to pry her out of it after about the 7th ride
Our last day at Dutch Wonderland. This amusement park had only rides for little kids, which was great, and it was empty for most of the time that we were there
Natalie and Phoebe riding the train around the park
Natalie with Phoebe on the carousel
Me and Natalie in front of the pretzel
Natalie didn't really know what this was, but she thought it was really funny when she saw the picture
Operating the heavy machinery
Natalie and Phoebe on a boat ride around the park
Me and Natalie on the boat
Natalie was so excited when they let her drive the boat (don't worry...we were the only people on the ride)
Natalie feeding the ducks (and trying to catch them)
Towards the end of the trip, Natalie would ask to have her picture taken...this was one of those times
I was a little nervous when I saw this ride because I thought Natalie might be scared of it. It went on a straight path and then threw the cart around the corner pretty fast. She LOVED it...she rode this one several times and just laughed and laughed.
Natalie wanted to ride the turtles and since she liked the previous ride so much, I thought she would like this one too. It was basically a tilt-a-whirl and as soon as the ride started, she started crying. I felt so bad for her, but she survived. Unfortunatley, we had to leave right after that to make it to the airport on time. She really had a great trip though!
