The Sweetest Place On Earth

Last week we loaded up the minivan and headed out for a three day getaway. We traveled to the sweetest place on earth...Hershey Park! Hershey Park is one of the most beautiful, clean, fun amusement parks ever, and it is located in the cutest town as well. Here are way too many pictures of our trip...just in case you are looking for someplace to go this summer and/or you are just really bored and want to pass some time...

We stayed at the beautiful Hotel Hershey, where you may find some pretty neat characters hanging out in the lobby anytime of the day!

Everyone receives a full sized Hershey bar at check-in, and as if that weren't enough, we found this waiting for us in our room...

First stop...Hershey World, where you can learn how chocolate is made on an awesome ride, and meet even more neat characters!

A dream come true...a real live chocolate bar!

After that, it was off to the park...a beautiful, shady, cozy place with the most beautiful carousel around!

My little lady loved it! She and I rode on the benches...

while my older three chose to ride the horses!

After that it was off to find the roller coasters...and thankfully all my kids love to ride!

And another...

When I saw this one, I knew it was time for mommy to go back to the room! And a certain little lady was ready too. My best-ever-husband offered to stay at the park and wait, so Flynn and I rode the shuttle bus back to the hotel. And may I add, she thought THAT was the best ride of the day! The big kids made much better time without us, and managed to ride several different roller coasters ten times!

This is what was waiting for Me and Flynn when we returned, so we ate kisses, drank milk and watched a Full House marathon...and apparently this is how they found us when they returned...

yep...that would be me and Flynn...apparently all that excitement is just too much for this old mama! And I am not the least bit embarrassed to put this on here...cause that is just how much I love you guys!

Morning cup of Hershey's cocoa...when in Rome, right?

The outdoor pool was beautiful and this little mermaid had a blast...

as did these two...Madison and I supervised from the lounge chairs. Did I mention I had the bestest husband around? He even swims with the kids!

These little kisses are everywhere around the hotel. My little Flynn was like a squirrel gathering and hoarding them in the mini fridge...then passing them out to us all. day. long. : )

And because you can't ever get enough chocolate here, this was my room service dessert...and may I just add...it was divine...

The grounds of the Hotel Hershey are beautiful...and that would be my Flynn...wearing her swim cover up as a jacket...who am I to argue with a fashionista like her?

I love that my big kids were so happy to ride the kiddie rides!

Rhett was an awesome big brother and won his sister some awesome prizes!

One last time on the carousel...

and I think this picture sums it all up perfectly...Hershey Park is indeed the sweetest place on earth!
