Hershey Park


Hershey, Pennsylvania



Josh and Elizabeth on the ride!


The Awesome Gingerbread House made with huge hershey kisses, whole candy bars and tons and tons of chocolate! mmmm!

Let me let you in on a little secret- Ethan doesn't like his picture taken. And when I say "smile!" he usually is the one not looking or smiling really goofy, so if you see a picture and you want to know who is Ethan or Jonah, Ethan is the one will a silly, goofy face or not looking at you at all.

Being workers at the Chocolate Factory.


Josh was able to take most of the week off after Christmas. We spent a lot of time playing games and working on the "Honey-Dew" list like fixing the bathroom towel bar and getting our gas fireplace going again (mostly the work of the repair man) but inbetween we went on a few adventures and a litte geocaching (a story for another day).

Last Wednesday we finally visited Hershey, Pennsylvania- a small town built by Mr. Hershey himself to help the workers that worked at his chocolate factory. I've been itching to go there ever since we moved here. Oh, and to Gettysburg, too. There is an amusement park there and a small museum.

We didn't go to the amusement park but went through the museum and had a blast going on the small ride that explained how chocolate was made including a free sample at the end. We went on that ride twice actually- it was free! We ate lunch, shopped a little in the everything Hershey souvenir shop and helped package some Hershey kisses. So fun!




On the way back we still had some time so we hit Gettysburg, which is an hour away from our town. Loved it. Loved being there, seeing where the battles took place, seeing the weapons and being at the actually site. There was kind of a spirit there- a spirit of conquering, a spirit of defeat and a spirit of history.



Asher at Devil's Den


Little Round Top. Looking up from Devil's Den. The Union was defending Little Round Top and the Confederate army was attacking from where we were. Many died and it was a turning point of the battle and of the war.

How fun! We went to Hershey on our honeymoon, and stopped by Gettysburg too. There are so many neat things to see back East.
