Elmo loves to collect sticks.  Here are a few photos of his collection:

OK, we didn't really take THESE sticks home with us!

This one didn't quite make it either....

It's best to take a bite out of these unmanageable sticks, just so they don't think they've won....

This is the collection... Elmo, what are you doing?!

Elmo, that stick won't go in the house!

OK, maybe the stick WILL go in the house.
