Hershey, Pennslyvania

One Saturday a bunch of us decided to make the 2 hour trek over to Hershey, Pennsylvania.  This is the town where chocolate is made.  Milton Hershey created a whole city around their chocolate plant.  They have a theater, zoo, amusement park, schools and everything.  It was all for the families there.  It is quite impressive.  We toured the whole city and did a special tour to learn how they make the chocolate.  We wanted to come back to do the amusement park with Ryan but we ran out of time.  What a neat place. The boys thought this was really fun!

 

Brandywine Zoo

 The nearby city of Wilmington had it own zoo that we decided to hit up one evening to get out!  It was small but fun to visit.  It was in a cute part of town along the river with huge trees and such.  Once again it was super hot but the kids really liked the tigers and otters there.

Please Touch Museum

The Please Touch Museum was one of our favorite places to visit in Philadelphia.  It was enormous!  There were so many things for the kids to see and do.  They spent the whole day exploring this children's museum.  There was everything from a McDonald's to an Alice in Wonderland.  We really wanted to go back but there just wasn't enough time.  I think the boys favorite things was the excavator!

A few funny pics!

 Kade and Jeff had to spend a lot of time playing together and being brothers.  They started sharing a room but many nights preferred falling asleep on the couch!

Jeff has become quite obsessed with Ironman.  I found him hiding in the closet with a red marker doing this to himself because he wants to be Ironman.

Eclipse Premier

I was really sad to not get to go see Eclipse with my mom and sisters but these girls made it super fun!  The movie ended up being just as I had imagined.
