You might be a swimmer...

I found this somewhere and sadly, I understand all of this and have actually done most of it.

Hersheypark Pics.

A word to the wise.... When staying overnight near Hersheypark DO NOT stay at the Red Carpet Inn and Suites in Palmyra. Ugh, it was nasty, the room stank like an old cabin, there was dirt under the beds and the air conditioner was leaking so bad that the carpet was wet under it. We made the mistake of booking online without really researching it much and we have learned our lesson! I didn't expect it to be anything like the Hershey Hotel but come on, I expected them to at least clean the popcorn up from under the beds! As promised, here are a few pictures from our mini vacation!

At Chocolate World...

Meet Mr. Hershey Bar!

On the Fun Slide with Avery...

All aboard!

My tiny little girl, what a princess!

Before the ride started, Avery didn't look so good after it was over!

Yeah, she looks "Hersheypark happy"!!

Another sick child...

When it rains it pours in this house and today we have another sick child to deal with. Rylee started to complain of a headache last night but I thought it was just from the paint fumes that got into the house (Dale was spray painting right outside the door). Well, this morning she woke up with her head still hurting, her belly upset and a fever of 102. She's such an active child so when she gets sick she really feels it. She camped out on the couch this morning watching The Bee Movie and now she's taking a bath to "wash the germs away".

Hersheypark was so much fun! The weather was perfect and the lines were not bad at all! It was a little chilly for the waterpark but that didn't stop Rylee from splashing around for a while. Avery went on her first "big girl" rollercoaster and liked it. I'll post the pictures later this week.

Another little swimmer in the family....

Miss Avery has a new talent, swimming! The summer started off with her being very clingy in the water and now she's a little fish! Her new thing, diving off the bottom step of the pool and swimming underwater to me a few feet away. She's so cute, she keeps her eyes open and kicks her little feet until she reaches me. I took her into the deep end yesterday to see how she would do and she dove right off the wall into 6 feet of water and swam to me, I was about five feet away. I didn't expect this to happen so of course the camera was at home, hopefully I'll get some good pictures of her soon.

Peaches!!

One of the best things about living in Pa. is the summer produce and we are taking full advantage of it this year! We headed out to the local orchard this past weekend to pick
peaches for the first time. The peaches are on top of this huge hill so we got a great
view of the entire peach orchard and the apple orchard as well. The girls loved being able to
eat the peaches right off the tree. That reminded me of when I used to have my own peach tree. I loved waking up in the morning, stepping outside and picking my breakfast right
from the trees. Sadly, the tree overproduced one year and the branches split so my dad had to cut the tree down. Anyway, after we were done in the orchard we stopped at the playground before heading home for lunch.


**Disclaimer** Not sure what's going in with this post and why it's putting so many spaces in.
I tried to fix it, I can't, oh well!!

We'll be heading out to Hersheypark for a mini vacation on Thursday so look for lots of fun pictures next week!!
