Hersheypark Happy!

This past weekend we had friends in from New Jersey. Deb went to high school with Christa and Steph and has remained good friends ever since. They have visited every couple years since we've been married and they love coming to Amish country. Friday we had a day planned for Hershey Park. With temps in the mid 90's and heat index over 100, it was going to be a HOT one! I'm not going to lie...I'm not a huge amusement park guy and with the forecast...not looking forward to it. They boys couldn't wait to ride the rides with Gabriella and Ariana. We figured the water park would be packed, so we hit the rides first. Gabriella is 5 and Ariana is 3 so there were plenty of kid rides with Gavin. Blake wanted to ride the "bigger" rides but was great with the little kids too. Blake, Gavin, and I finally got to the roller coasters! Comet was the only one Gavin was allowed even though he wanted to ride them all! Blake and I got to go on Lightning Racer several times with NO LINE! Part of my dislike of amusement parks is the lines...just not worth it. On a Friday in July there were NO LINES! It was great! We ended the day at the water park and realized how old we're getting when we went to wake up on Saturday! :)

Saturday after work we went to Outback steakhouse for dinner and headed to our favorite ice cream spot for desert...The Strasburg Creamery!
