THE WOG TAKES TO THE STREET

Sesame Street, that is.

While visiting Minnie and Pop-Pop in New Jersey, we, accompanied by The Wog's Aunt MB, headed to Sesame Place. Aside from the excessive heat and our failure to bring bathing suits, it was a great excursion. A sweaty little Wog enjoyed herself immensely; she fearlessly strutted up to each character and bestowed upon him/her (I guess we saw all "him[s]"--we just missed Zoe; we also just missed Cookie Monster, about which, to be honest, I was more disappointed than The Wog) a sweet hug.

Grover was definitely the best-tempered Muppet, but who could expect them them to be their finest wearing those costumes in 102 degree weather?


Giving Elmo a smooch:


Baby Bear (or "Bay-uh" as he calls himself) was not the most popular character (although he is The Wog's father's favorite) so The Wog got to spend some quality time in his company:



Big Bird was the only denizen of Sesame Street who gave The Wog any pause. She got over it, though.


We took advantage of the half-price, "twilight" admission and there were no lines for any of the attractions or rides. As the concept of waiting in line currently eludes The Wog, it worked out quite well.
