Hershey on Saturday and Sunday!

I decided it is time for me to complete my recording of our trip with Bria and Cali at Hershey Preserve!  Saturday morning the girls were up around 8 (allowed us to have a good night's sleep), and they watched part of a movie while we prepared breakfast.  The 4 of us ate outside at the picnic table - Pops, Mickey Mouse pancakes and lots of fruit.  We took a walk around the CG and the girls played in the creek.  It was cloudy and a bit cool, so we decided to take the trip to Chocolate World to take the riding tour on how Hershey chocolate is made.  Of course, we had to do the ride 2 times. We all enjoy getting the free candy at the end.  We also shared a delicious cookie and brought some licorice for later.

By the time we returned to the CG it was much warmer and sunny, so we ate lunch and headed to the pool in the CG.  Bria and Cali spent time at the pool and the adjoining playground and enjoyed meeting a new 5 year old friend,  Tiana.  They had so much fun together.  After swimming, we got ice cream at the CG store and the girls played in the creek.  Back to Waldo to continue the movie while Ken and I got dinner ready.  Bria and Cali asked if Tiana could join us when we made s'mores.  So Tiana and her great grandparents spent time with us at the campfire and we all had s'mores.  The 3 girls also spent time playing games and watching a short movie in Waldo.  We spent about 1 1/2 hours together.  A very enjoyable evening

Sunday morning we really took our time getting ready to return home.  We ate breakfast outside again and took a short walk. Bria ad Cali enjoyed playing both inside and out while we got packed up and cleaned up. We were back home by 1:30 and the girls enjoyed coloring and playing on the porch while we unloaded.  We took them to their house around 5 and ordered pizza.  We had them in bed by 8:15 and Jamie and Dane returned home from the 1/2 Ironman in Syracuse NY around 9:30.  Dane completed the triathlon 40 minutes quicker then he expected doing the 13 mile run at the end of the triathlon in around 8 1/2 minutes per mile.  Wow!!!  He is so dedicated.

Ken and I really enjoyed our camping adventure with the little ones.  They are growing up and make our job so much easier.  Loved Bria's comment when we put her to bed.  She said, "I hope I am dreaming and when I wake up I am still in Waldo!"  Both girls said they are going to have RV's when they grow up and take their kids camping!  We are definitely making memories!
