Beautiful pics from the gardens!! Haha, the sidewinder is so much fun!! I'm a rollercoaster junkie though!! Hershey Chocolate, Hershey Chocolate, the great American Chocolate bar!!!!!! Haha, sorry had to!! Isn't that smell wonderful!! Plus free chocolate at the end of chocolate world!!! Come on, what could be better than that!! I'm glad you had a fun trip!!

 

[ILuvCrush]

Now for some pics from the park itself! I didn't take many, so there wasn't as many good ones to choose from LOL!!

This one is for you LL!!

look we found some characters!!

Me and Ellie

Me and Allison

Nanna (my mom) and the girls

Nanna didn't care for this ride...

She did like this one.... the Coal Cracker

You can barely see me on this one... I'm on the other side of the guy in the middle... Ellie loved the Great Bear (its the suspended coaster)

Well that concludes this tangent of this PTR.... you may now resume your WDW planning!!

Yep free chocolate... can not be beat!! I've done coasters similar to the Sidewinder before... and honestly, if it was Ellie wanting to ride, I probably would have done it. My problem is that Allison is my baby... and even though i know its crazy... i have a fear of her falling out on coasters... so i have a tendancy to try to hold onto her I can't relax and enjoy the ride while i'm worrying about the plummeting to the ground For some reason... I have no worries about Ellie falling out I wonder why that is

Wonderful pictures from Hershey's, Paula!!! I love the Kiss light fixture!!!

Thanks Jackie! I agree, the lights are really cute...

 

[2xcited2sleep]

Great pictures, Paula!! Sounds like a fun trip! The girls look so cute in their matching blue!

I love that you waited for the baggalini to arrive to leave. Sorry it turned out to be a bust. But at least you tried it!

Would Nanna consider a scooter for your Nov trip? If not, definitely add in some rest time!

All those roller coasters are giving me heart palpitations. That would not be the place for me!

thanks C! the matchy outfits were a suprise for me and the girls...they each did their own packing and it wasn't planned!

I'm very glad I waited for the bagg...I did need to do a true test run with it preferably one involving rides and stuff. I love all the pockets and the size is perfect. If there was a way I could comfortably wear it over 1 shoulder and not across my chest... it would have been excellent! I'm just not used to bags that are worn that way, which I think is what bothered me the most

There is no way Nanna will go for a scooter. I think she may be OK the first day or 2 if we take it easy, but how I can get a teen and 3 pre-teens to take it easy in WDW is beyond me She will hit the wall by day 3 if i am not careful....

Awww...Paula I love your pictures!! I'm going to let you do all the picture taking at Disney LOL!!!!! Those flower pictures are just amazing!!!

It looks like you and the girls along with Nanna had a great time!! Sorry to hear the bag won't work for Disney...but you do have your trusty Vera to fall back on so that's good!!!!!

Hmmm...Chocolate...what I would give to have some real Hershey chocolate!!! YUMMY!!!!!

Well I'm glad you are back and that you had a fun mini trip!!!!!!! Thanks for sharing with us!!

 

[MRYPPNS]

I love how the whole town of Hershey smells like chocolate !

 

[Lady Lallie]

Sounds like Hershey was fun! I love the kiss light fixture, too cute. I want one for my house.

It's better to find out the baggallini didn't work now then in Disney.

Score on the towels for your owner's locker! Have you come up with a name for it yet?

 

[cjackearl]

Gorgeous pictures in the gardens.

My stomach drops just looking at those coasters. I wish I were more of a coaster fan, but I'm more of a coaster chicken. Glad your girls had fun.

The pictures of you and your girls are super cute. They both look a lot like their mom.

 

[Mndisneygirl]

LL - you would love the town of Hershey - they have streetlights shaped like kisses too!

Love the mini TR - we've been to Hershey, but not the park - my kids were little and not into coasters. Maybe someday when they're big enough to ride without parents!

 

[stacikristine]

What a fun trip! The Hershey Gardens pictures are GORGEOUS! I love looking at pictures of flowers. What kind of camera were you using? All of the pictures were just so great! I went to Hershey (the factory and museum) in the 7th grade, and I LOVED it. I'd love to go back and take my DH and try out the park and everything. Fun, fun!

I knew you'd like that light! LOL!!

The towels are happily checked off my list... and no.... I still haven't come up with a name my brain can't come up with better than "Mouse Droppings!!" but I'm still thinking.... i'll come up with something Twitter-worthy

Thanks! I can't do most amusement park rides, because they are usually of the 'spinning' variety Rollercaosters on the other hand do not ever make me sick... so I had no problem with them

Allison is pretty small, only 50 inches.... but was tall enough for all but 3 of the coasters (2 of which I wasn't too keen on riding, and the other was the suspended one) She's a small 8 year old.... so you may not need to wait too long

The gardens were very pretty! I wanted to go to the musseum (we even had free tickets!) But, unfortunately, didn't have enough time. To do the park, outlets, garden, chocolate world, and the museum...I think you need 2.5 days at least. If I hadn't waited for the Bagg and we left early, we probably could have done it.

I use a Sony alpha DSLR camera... however several of the pics (the ones with me and the girls and a couple of the scenic garden pics) we with my Sony Cybershot (7.2 megapixels). I love my camera.. but it does get heavy after a while. It takes very nice pictures, better than many other cameras. But as I've said many many times.... it's not really the camera, it's the photographer! learning a few tricks (or buying a good post editing program) goes a long way!! LOL!!

Paula

You think that's small?? Ha! My 8 year old is barely 48 inches (has been for a good 6 months). DD6 is almost as tall (about 46 in.), but weighs 10 lbs less. Of course her parents are both of the lesser stature so we don't expect her ever to be the tallest in the class. As the pediatrician said, you plant peas, you grow peas!

I suppose small is only what you compare them to... I have her Amazon sister to compare her to... my other DD who is 10... is 5 ft and nearly as tall as I am and My DS is 5'6" (taller than me!) so in comparison... Allison looks pretty darn tiny

I love that... you plant peas, you grow peas!! I have to remember that one

Paula

Yeah, I use that one a lot too. We have an 11 year old neighbor girl who's getting close to my height. I'm only 5'2" and DH is 5'8" (with shoes on - really he's closer to 5'6"!). We both come from short families - not one 6 footer in the bunch, so we keep stepstools handy!

 

[TravelBug86]

OMG I sooo want to go to Hershey PA now!!! Sadly, I will probably never go since my DH is allergic to chocolate Also, I have to mention what a beautiful family you have I also have to say that your DD Ellie looks MUCH OLDER than 10!!! She looks like 13 LOL (Actually, I would've killed to look like that at 13!)

I hope your DH has always been allergic to chocolate. I would be very sad if I had to give it up!
