HersheyPark

We had a fun time going to HersheyPark on Saturday!

It is about 1 1/2 hours away from our house. They do a Christmas themed park during December so we grabbed some discounted tickets. They have reindeer (Ethan saw them and turned around saying "No!), Santa (Ethan wouldn't go near him so we skipped Santa), and lights and decorations everywhere.

The park itself is nicer than I was expecting. About half the park is closed during the winter months-- the bigger roller coasters and waterpark are all shut down due to the weather and cold. However, all of the kiddie rides were open and the kids had a blast. Of course, we also had to go on the train. It was about 40 degree outside so we were all bundled up. We knew it was time to go when both of the kids wanted to be carried rather than walk or sit in the stroller...

We did stop by the Hershey Chocolate World on the way out as well. They have a "factory tour"... but it doesn't take you to the factory! It is kind of like "It's a small world" where you sit in these moving vehicles and there are animatronic cows dancing and singing and telling you how chocolate is made...

Ethan and Adalyn had a blast on this ride. Love their facial expressions!
