I know it's been quiet around here. I've been feeling great and have been enjoying the warm weather and spring break with the girls. We have had our cousins here from North Carolina and are having a ball. On Friday we took all the kids to Hershey Park. My girls have never been to an amusement park. They were really excited.
The girls rode as many roller coasters as they could in the time we were there. My girls have never been on a roller coaster. They were a bit nervous. We started out small and worked our way up. They loved it. Even Little E rode on a small one.
There is a group of girls in this shot. Hard to see them but they are way up there.
Along with the rides there are the candy characters.
Little E was thrilled to meet them.
I was able to do a couple rides with Little E. This was our first ride of the day. She was a little nervous, but she loved it.
After we finished in the park we toured chocolate world, and learned how they make their famous treats. I don't think I have ever seen so much chocolate in one place before. It was awesome!
It was a blast and I am so glad we were able to go. I kept up really well with the crew and I must have walked 6 miles, but felt great all day. The girls are already planning what park they want to go to next.
What Fun! So glad to hear you had such a great time. The kids look like they really enjoyed it, all those smiles! If you're serious about more amusement park trips, check out Cedar Point. You could easily spend 2 or 3 days there if you've never been before. We're a family of coaster freaks and we go almost every year. It's huge and has so much to offer besides just coasters but if you want roller coasters, you gotta try it!

It looks like a wonderful day and I love the pictures! I went to Hershey as a child and I think all they had was a tour of the factory, which was fun. Amazing how things grow!

We have been there too! The only problem for us is that we don't like Hershey chocolate because our chocolate tastes very different. I am so glad that you had a lovely day out.

What a great day! It's been years since I've been to Hershey Pennsylvania. I'm sure it's changed quite a bit since then. Still a great place for kids though!

I bet a chocolate boost here and there through the day gave you all the stamina you needed! Looks like a great place to spend a day with all of your girls.

Nuttin' better than celebrating life with chocolate! Oooh, a roller coaster. I remember doing those kind of things a long time ago. I can see the girls had fun!

Little E is so cute with the characters! And my goodness, the smell must have been heaven, Sarah! How was it? Were you melting there and then :)

I remember being petrified going down a waterslide for the first time...then came the rollercoaster. I barely survived.

What a great time and the weather was perfect! I'm so glad that the girls enjoyed the trip. The factory is very cool and I love the smell. Maybe I need to add that to the list of places to visit again this summer.

What a beautiful family! Sounds like you had a lot of fun! I am glad you are feeling well. I am not a big rollercoaster fan, LOL! I never was as a child and it hasn't grown on me as an adult! ;)
