Hersheypark Happy

I had the chance to go to Hersheypark twice this summer. Once with Olivia and her Brownie troop, and a second time on a "Charlie and Mommy" day.  I think I rode a total of 3 rides.  I was too scared to ride the rides that Olivia rode:

Yes, my baby is up there somewhere!

 and too big to ride the rides that Charlie rode!

Olivia recently graduated to "Hersheybar" status and she was thrilled to be able to ride some of the bigger and scarier rides with her friends (can you say SooperDooperLooper!).

Don't look down Olivia!!!

Meanwhile, Charlie, who moved up from a "Kiss" to a "Reese's Cup", made it his personal goal to ride all the choo-choos, woo-woos, cars, trucks, monorails and spaceships -- really anything with wheels!

I made sure that both kids had a balanced diet of sugar that included, but was not limited to, cotton candy, dippin' dots, twizzlers and, of course, chocolate!

We had fun meeting the "chocolate people",

eating our picnic lunch,

feeding the ducks,

trying on silly hats,

Arghhhh, matey!

and getting wet ...

  ... until it got too cold.

I'm freeeeeezing!

Olivia had a great day with her Brownie troop,

and Charlie had a big boy day with Mommy.

This looks like a fun ride

well .... maybe not!

We definitely had two Hersheypark Happy days!
