We took the kids to Sesame Place for Kepa's Birthday. We had a great time and had a lot of fun. Even he loved it. Really, he did.

We let him pick out a toy from the gift shop and as soon as he went in he grabbed a Grover stuffed animal and wouldn't let go. We tried to get him to hold other things like Cookie Monster or Bert or Ernie, but he would just aggresively bat them away. We even tried to remove Grover but he would just hold on even tighter. Grover is his new favorite friend.

Malaea's School Performance....

The theme was ENERGIZE! and they even had a girl dress up in the Energizer bunny costume with a drum. There was also audience participation with the Macarana and the Chicken dance. Malaea did a great job, especially my favorite at 01:22! (Also, note the size difference between Malaea and her classmates at 00:36)
