Hershey Park

Highmark (where Grammy is employed) has done an employee appreciation day at Hershey Park for the past several years. (See July 31, 2011) This year I could actually ride a few rides since I was not pregnant and Daniel was able to do more by himself so we had a great time. Grammy and Pappy took the kids for a while too so Jason and I could ride some real roller coasters (except that Jason is a sissy and we didn't really go on any good ones).  I didn't get as many pictures of Daniel as I would have liked since Grammy and Pappy had him for much of the day but we have enough for some good memories.

Jason feigning indifference to his fear of the Side Winder before my camera was confiscated.  (Apparently you can't take pictures while on the roller coasters!)

Daniel and Abby had fun riding in the double stroller together.

They are the only two on the ride and Daniel had to sit right next to her on this and the swings.  He must have thought she was cute.

Jason gave Abby a taste of his ice cream cone and even though I was pretty upset about it - it was really funny and I had to take pictures of her reaction.  She loved it and screamed and cried when he took it away from her.

Taking a bite.

Wanting a bite and getting upset that it is being taken away.

Screaming about not being aloud to have any more.

Pappy bought this because of the look of sheer terror on Daniel's face.  He wanted to go again though.

The majority of the afternoon we hung out at the "beach" and played in the wave pool until Daniel was too tired to function.  Last year we made it until about 2:00; this time was nearly 5:00 when we left and Daniel made it to the car at least before he fell asleep.  We were all beat but had a great time and are thankful that we decided to go.
