Hershey Park, Pennsylvaian

The day before we flew back to Australia, Papa Swinton treated me and the kids to a day trip at Hershey Park. Basically it is a large Amusement park with the Hershey Chocolate factory across the street. You can you get a tour of the factory and then sample fresh chocolate and treats. While in England we went to Cadbury world and saw their factory. Although I like Cadbury chocolate better than Hershey's; Hershey park has a way better factory tour and amusement park...Cadbury world was about to cave in!

Lucky for us, Christian (one of the girls cousins) tagged along and so did Aunt Jenna and her kids. All in all we had 6 kids and 3 adults, which I thought worked out perfect. Below are some pictures of our day!
Riding the go carts into the park from the parking lot
riding some rides!
Getting lunch...Christian likes to pose, I can't tell you how many times I would have to re-take the picture so that Christian would look normal.

I thought this was the weirdest thing ever....candy mascots?
getting on the ride for the chocolate tour...it was a lot like a Disney ride.

hitting a few more rides in the evening...the park didn't close until 10:00pm...we left at 9:00, got home at midnight and got on a plane the next day.
