Today we spent the day at one.
This place was Andrew's dream come true.
He just couldn't believe it when he got to meet his buddy Elmo.
Which family pic do you think would make the best Christmas card? ;)
My favorite of Andrew's smiling attempts
Andrew just couldn't stop giving Elmo hugs... or leaning in for hugs and then Elmo would grab him and hug him. We got much more time with him than most of the other kids. Elmo could just tell Andrew was star struck and in love... he wasn't scared like a lot of the other kids. He just was so amazed he stared and stared.
We finally tore him away and went to see the Atlantis ride.
I think he could've watched it all day. He was so in awe of all the water that flew on the people. We waved at Kevin as he went on the ride again and again and got soaked. There were no lines.
Andrew just kept saying "One more time" with one finger shaking in the air.
My favorite part of the day was the Shamu show, Believe. The music and drama of it all had me crying every other second. I am such a sucker for that sort of thing.
Andrew was enthralled. He kept screaching "again! again!" with real concern... thinking the show was done and he wasn't going to get to see Shamu any more.
I teared up every time the music crescendoed and Shamu soared into the air.
Andrew yelled for more cookies and just couldn't take his eyes off the water.
The day was incredible... and we get to go back tomorrow. Little man is excited to go say hi to his buddy Shamu again.

How fun! I think you should definitely do the Elmo/Big Bird picture. They're practically part of the family, right? I love the picture of Andrew and Kevin in front of the tank with the whale swimming by, crazy.
