Hershey Park 2011

Aunt Gail got us tickets for Hershey Park for M&T Bank day

unfortunately she had to have surgery last month and was unable to go.

She got some extra tickets and Aunt Teresa and Cousin Olivia went instead.

We got there right when the park opened, and B measured to find out what rides

he could get on.

Of course he's MY favorite candy.

The 5 of us
B wasn't very excited about Mr. Peanut Butter Cup

First the kids went on a bunch of rides

Below is the face I got when I asked Olivia to smile

We stopped for some candy snacks

(Chocolate and candy covered pretzels and choc covered rice crispies)

We were provided a nice lunch and then after we went to the water park.

The weather was perfect so low 80's.

Due to that the water was REALLY cold.

Luckily they kids played in a really awesome children's"sand castle" area

so Kenn and I didn't even have to get our bathing suits on (YES!)

so after a while his little lips were blue

so he came out to warm up for a minute

Then I asked him

"do you want to get out"

this was the face when he said "NO"

we went over to the kids wave pool

olivia was body surfing.

B had little interest in this area.

About 15 mins and he was back at the castle

Finally B had enough of the cold so we changed the kids,

went souvenir shopping.

we went next door to Chocolate world

B was VERY excited.

Olivia was about done for the day so the 2 of them left.

The 3 of us went on the Chocolate tour ride.

B loved it. We showed him the belts that GrandRuss sells.

So i had made the mistake about talking about making your own candy bar

so thats ALL he wanted to do.

Apparently when we got there it takes an hour.

at this point we were not feeling like waiting that long.

So we found where the have premade bars and had them put Brandons name on it

We also told him to pick out any candy in the store.

He picked out a chocolate chip cookie.

B seeing his candy bar.

The next series of pictures are my attempt at getting him to smile in a picture
He clearly didn't want too

He didn't want to leave of course, and we promised to bring him back next year.

It was a really good park for him.

So of course we try to get him to eat the candy bar that he HAD to have.

he wants no part in it.

That's the thing with brandon he really has no interest in candy.

M&M's are the only candy he'll eat.

Even with ice cream/cake/dessert he will want it badly

then have 4 bites and he's good to go.

SO kenn and I are sacrificing and eating it for him.

Thank you Aunt Gail! we had a blast!!!!
