We decided to surprise the girls with an overnight trip to Hersheypark on Wednesday. Now, we have known about this for a few weeks but kept it a secret, man was that hard! Anyway, so we got up on Wednesday morning and acted like it was just an average day. I secretly packed while Dale ran to get the tickets. Around 1:00 we told the girls to get in the car and they noticed the bags in the back. We told them that we were going to a different pool, one kind of far away. When we got to Hershey Rylee noticed the street lights (they are Hershey Kisses) and said "Hey, we're at Hersheypark!!" I told them that the rides were closed and that we were just going to a hotel to swim for the day. So we get to the hotel, check in, swim a bit and then get ready for dinner. After dinner we told them that we were going to a big playground. Well, they got SO excited when we pulled in and parked. Of course Rylee accused me of lying to her but she got over it real fast! We did Chocolate World and then headed in for a few hours of rides before the park closed. (You get into Hershey for free the night before if you buy full day tickets) The next morning we got up, checked out and went to Bob Evans for breakfast (Carmel praline banana pancakes, YUM!!) before heading back to Hershey. We had perfect weather and spent most of the morning in the water park before doing more rides. It was a long day and the girls passed out within 10 minutes of getting in the car, lol!

Rylee rocking her new Speedo. I think she's beyond "girly" suits, she likes racing suits better now. I also think her arm muscles are bigger than mine, lol. Yep, she's my little swimmer!
