Sesame Street Live

We have had a very busy couple of weeks and I have lots to report. Mommy promises she'll get it all on the blog but it might be out of order.

First up on the long Memorial Day weekend we drove an hour south to Thousand Oaks to see Sesame Street Live. Even though I don't often watch Sesame Street anymore, I loved it and I recognized all the characters - Abby Cadabby, Bert & Ernie, Elmo, Zoe, Big Bird, Cookie Monster, Oscar the Grouch...they were all there. It was so much fun to see them all come to life. There was a lot of singing and dancing - both on stage and in the audience! I brought my own Abby Cadabby along to see all her friends and she and I danced and sang along with everyone else.

San Francisco!

My fifth birthday celebration continued in San Francisco with Papa and Nana. We had such a great time exploring the places I'd read about in my books "Maybelle the Cable Car" and "This is San Francisco." We went to Fisherman's Wharf, rode a cable car, a bus and a trolley, went to the Academy of Sciences in Golden Gate Park and Steinhart Aquarium. One of the best things was taking a ferry ride in the Bay - we went right under the Golden Gate Bridge and past Alcatraz Island!

Wow! The Golden Gate Bridge is ginormous, especially seen from the water below.

I love opening presents!

I am five years old now! My birthday was so much, we celebrated the whole month of April. First, Aunt Barbi came to visit for my birthday. We took her to the beach and she was here for my party. I had a party for some of my school friends in the backyard. We played musical chairs, pin the tail on the giraffe and we even had a pinata. It was really hard to break it open so Daddy had to do it.
