Not yet. But I plan on taking our 2 year old this summer. It seems like the only theme park on the east coast that does have enough activities for a toddler. Kings Dominion and 6 Flags have kiddie sections, but the rides are mostly for 4 years and up, and it's just not worth the cost of admission. If the website is anything to go by, Sesame Place just like Sesame Street is including many toddler activities alongside it's traditional preschooler activities. You can go to the website and review it one ride at a time to determine it's value to you. I haven't logged onto this site in quite some time and was really pleasantly surprised to find a question about something that I had just researched! Tell us about it if you decide to go. It'll probably be July before we get there.

Sesame Place is wonderful for little tots. It's been a long time since I was there, but I know lots of parents who've been there recently. It's really geared for little ones.

Annie - Funny story about that. My programmed night and weekday daytime temp is 55. Evenings and weekends (when wife is home and awake) 68. But for the past two winters I've worked from home and occassionally found 55 to be pretty cold so I'd cry uncle and turn it up a bit. So I've often wondered how you can stand to keep it that cold. For my birthday I got a Thermapen. I noticed that when I'd turn it on it seemed to read pretty low temperatures. Not knowing if it was accurate for air temp I started taking the temperature of things around the house, like oil in the pantry, a glass of water that sat out for several hours, etc. and came to the conclusion that my thermostat reads 7 degrees high! (The Thermapen is certified calibrated, and I've tested it against ice water and boiling water - no problems there.) So all this time that my wife would sneak and turn up the heat to 70 or so, all she was really getting was 63. I haven't told her. Even at these low temps my house costs a fortune to heat. Better she feel guilty about "cranking" the heat! (I hope she doesn't read this - she does look in once in a while, but usually the WFD thread!)

sorry...gave the blanket as a gift and don't have access to the back. The only reason I even have pictures of things I make is that my daughter is on the west coast and wants to see what I do. I only have one project in the works that is a graphic but it is only two colors so would not give you want you are looking for. I'll take a picture of the back over the weekend and post it anyway. However, I have never had any complaints about what the back looks like - I weave in the loose ends as I crochet so there are no knots.

Jasdip's Slow Cooker Sesame Pork Roast

That's a great idea for the leftovers, when ya' got any, that is. I cooked a med-lg roast for the three of us for dinner. DS works a late shift and he did major damage to it when he got in from work so there was only enough left for sandwiches for DH & I for lunch. We're in the midst of DIY remodel and this was a perfect easy to do, no-fuss dish. I made up the marinade and marinated o/night & plopped it in the crock pot the next day. Served it w/ stir fried green beans and some leftover potatoes that I pulled out of the refrig. Oh, and I left the roast whole. The marinade permeated the roast just fine. No doubt also because you cook the roast in the [other half] marinade also. Any way, it's a great dish; wish I had about ten more so easy & delicious meals to get us through this remodel.

We have been to Hershey only for Springtime at Hersheypark and Candylane. Both admissions are much cheaper than regular season price. We haven't done Dutch Wonderland yet. We hope to meet friends with two little girls that my son likes and he may ride with them. We usually go mostly to Knoebel's - free parking, pay by the ride, reasonable food prices. Sesame Place is over $50 each for DH, me and my 5 year old, plus $15 parking. If it's mostly a water park, it will be difficult with a one-year-old and a 5 year old who isn't all that into water rides either. Mom and Dad aren't crazy about walking around wet either! I have been keeping an eye out for discounts. Someday it will work out but with two kids in daycare right now, we're trying to stretch our $$$.

I have been to Sesame Place a few times and yes, under ideal circumstances there are lots of things to do that young kids enjoy. That being said, there are several negatives to consider also:

1. Bus Tours. If you want your child to be able to enjoy many of the activities, be sure to get there when they open in the morning, the buses arrive aroud 11:00 AM and everything is overrun with older kids who are only marginally supervised.

2. Expense. If $ are at all a concern, pack your own snack and lunch. Like most parks it is very expensive to buy food there. Also, tickets are quite expensive if the child is only good for a couple of hours.

3. Weather. Remember a portion of Sesame Place is water games/slides/etc. If it isn't sunny and warm your child may not be able to take advantage of the entire facility.
