We went to Sesame Place fun some fun in the sun. While there we saw plenty of costumed people. Of course, that satisfied my Cinderella Goes Shopping scavenger hunt. I logged a Note on that to fulfill the requirements of this hunt.
Thanks.

Our visit to Sesame Place was a lot of fun. It was also replete with costumed people. I like Oscar; he was my favorite when I was a boy. I also like Grover and Cookie Monster. Long after Sesame Street was regular viewing for me, new characters were added. Beetle used to be fond of Elmo. Today she was all excited to see Zoe and even had her photograph taken with her.
Wearing a full costume on a hot day in August is hard work. I hope these folks make good money, but I suspect not.

Last week we were running late and Gert and I decided to order a pizza for dinner. We are partial to Bim’s in Millville. I took Beetle with me to pick up the ‘za.
I put the pizza into the truck and carried her to her seat. Beetle’s seat is on the driver’s side and with the traffic relatively heavy on Rt. 49, I thought it best to carry her.
As I put her into her car seat she said, “X marks the spot.”
“Huh?” I replied.
She said, “The treasure is found where the X is. Of course, we would have to dig in the road for it.”
I looked over my shoulder. In the middle of the road was painting for a railroad crossing. It had a massive X in the middle of the two Rs for the railroad.
When your four-year-old begins pointing out the geocaching references to you, you know you are raising a good hunter. 
I am so proud of her.

Beetle, Fritz, and I stormed the castle today. As we did, we came across this cute little alien. She seemed harmless despite being tied up by the astronaut.
This, it would appear, is what alien life looks like in eastern Pennsylvania. I am sure Alf would have enjoyed this, although I would have protected her. 
I tried to get the boy to stand in as the astronaut, but he had other things on his mind.

The things we do for scavenger hunts.
Well Eswau, you got me to attend an event. This is the first event I attended since one I hosted four and a half years ago. SEPAG was kind enough to list their annual Storms the Castle event here for us. I packed up the children and drove to Pennsylvania for the fun. The Kid’s Castle is awesome and my children loved playing all day long.
Upon arriving I was quickly reminded one of the reasons I do not attend events. There was a Bingo card event going on and the very first thing someone asked me was how many finds I have. No, Hi, how are you? Nope, do you have more than 2000 finds. I looked at the guy and explained that I don’t log online so I wouldn’t feel comfortable signing that square for him. Sigh . . .
Another reason why I do not attend events is because I am a social hermit. I suck at small talk and since I didn’t know a soul here, I had nothing to say to those who introduced themselves to me. I try to be polite, but I just have never been comfortable in this kind of a situation. I appreciate the folks greeting me. Perhaps next time I will have more to talk about than the weather. As I just shared with grossi, I skipped my 25th reunion in June too.
You have noticed that all my scavenger hunting over the years has been pretty much solo, yes? But for you, for this scavenger hunt, I put myself in that position. Aren’t you happy? I even signed the logbook.
Truly my children had a blast. This play area is awesome! There is a lot to do. It was so much fun both children conked out on the ride home. That never happens.
