My two daughters and I attended your Explore the Outdoors event and had a ball! We were there the entire time, 1:00 pm to 5:00 pm thoroughly enjoyed all the offerings. We hope you have the same event next year, as we definitely be in attendance. Thanks!
Thank-you for coming to Sesame Street and joining in the fun. We enjoyed hosting and look forward to seeing you and your daughters next year!
