Festive Amusment Parks

The idea seems a bit strange but is incredibly popular in our neck of the woods.  It seems that ever family I know, bundles up to freeze their bottoms off at an outdoor amusement park during the holiday season.  We chose to do it twice.

First Dutch Wonderland. . . 

Next up was Hershey.  We were joined by Baby Kate's family which was a good thing.  Daddy got two steps into the park and was hanging his head in a toilet which sent him back to the hotel rather quickly.  He tried to make it but, sometimes, you have to give in to sickness.  Kate's family did a great job of filling the void. This time, temps were intensely cold and eventually got the best of everyone. Soon the girls were back at the hotel and enjoying their nice cozy beds.  I've never seen my three girls share a bed so easily. Nothing like a late night in below freezing temps to put you right to sleep.

The next day, Daddy rallied and Grammy and Papa drove up to join in on the fun. We spent the day at Chocolate World and had a blast. My girls love that place. 


The house behind Kate and Lila is the most amazing Hershey "gingerbread house."  Hershey candy from top to bottom!



Working the chocolate factory is a always a hit!
