well, another day of work done and another day closer to going "home"

Tracie.... you were busy today girl!!! You must have made about 40 some posts while I was at work today! Way to go!!!!

don't look like I missed much......

hey penny, glad to hear you are working your way into real shoes again

rose....sounds like a nice day at Chocolate World. We only ever do the ride, the show and chef thing are more like: been there, done that type of thing....but we always like the ride!! Looking forward to the next day!

Hola Tracie~

It's overcast here again today-we didn't get any time in the pool yesterday and DS is already asking if we can swim today. I have mucho errands to run, I have to get my nails done and go grab some color to cover this grey! I'm flying out Friday morning for a long weekend sans family to see my "bff" in Indy.

Drinkin my candy flavored coffee...

ky07- enjoying your pics

 

[keishashadow]

the more pics the merrier imo . I know barb will have tons to post soon! I hope to get a few cool ones myself.

starting to pack for Saturday ; things were going swell....

until my mom started with her phantom illness today, saying she can't be left alone (with middle DS; soon to be 21) . No medical reason (just got the bill from last full workup in the hospital a month or so ago), just doesn't want me to go.

Bizarrely, she seems to want to quit moving; resulting in going to a WC . Finally told her - if so, she'll have to move to assisted living facility...perhaps that will do the trick.
Really hope she doesn't pull the usual crap while we're gone. one year she was convinced the dog had rabies.. Anyone else ever go thru this w/parents or grandparents?

vent over, thanks for the ear

hope everyone's day is a goodie!

Keisha

just tell mom that you are only 3 hours away if something REALLY goes wrong....dont have to deal with that yet (Mom will be 57 in September).

Just go and have a GRRRRRRREAT time!!

thouht this was wild.
I watched this squirrel as we came into the park and it wasn't afraid of anyone and it went to the tractor at twister and found its food and it sat there until some rude little kid ran it off.

My DD just woke up- had to get her breakfast going.


Day 5 of Hershey trip report- Wed June 13- Went back to Hershey Park and did the Boardwalk water area most of the day.
Got to HP a little after 10 am. Wanted to concentrate on the Boardwalk area this day, since we had the 2-day flex pass.Took awhile to walk from front of HP to Boardwalk. I don't think there is a shortcut to get to that area? At least not that I know of.
Got to Boardwalk area about 10:30 am and staked out our lawnchairs. Most of them already were taken. Went to the locker area/dressing area of the Boardwalk. Was kinda taken aback that the small lockers were $13 there and larger lockers were $15! My DH was livid of finding out about the locker fee. But at least you get the $5 deposit back when you return the key to the locker attendant. He spoke to the attendant and said the price of hte lockers were ridiculous. She didn't say anything. What can you do? In my opinion, the locker rental there at the Boardwalk is high, as I paid only $2 for locker rental at the front of HP on Monday. When I had called HP a week before we left on vacay, they told me lockers were between 75 cents and $2. DH had to lock up his Blackberry,cell phone, the kid's lunchtime meds, camera, wallet. I'm guessing b/c the Boardwalk area is new, they are trying to make the $$$, since Boardwalk is included in the HP ticket prices
Anyways, when we got settled, we went to the huge play area of Boardwalk, where the big bucket comes down and drenches you, water slides, water guns,water sprays etc. We stayed in that area of Boardwalk for about 2 hrs before we had lunch. When we first got to that area, DS was gone for about 15 min. I was starting to freak out, b/c I didn't see him come down any slides, etc. I was starting to panic . I had DH go look for him, b/c this place is huge! DH thought I was being too overprotective and saying he's having fun. I didn't know if there was an exit on the other side of this play area, b/c it is so huge! Did find out there is only one exit, close to where we came in. Anyways, DH did find DS, thank God! phew! He said he was waiting to go down this big purple slide. DS was exploring all over this water apparatus. DD stayed in pretty much one small area. Had lunch in hte Boardwalk area. I think the counter service was called "Decades" we ate at. Food in the BW area seemed more expensive than the other parts of the park. After lunch, the kids tried out the small wave pool area. It was a cute area. It was a little smaller area than what I imagined in the drawing of it on the HP website. At least the water isn't too high up at the front of hte wave pool, about 3 feet high. After about 20 min at the wave pool, DD wanted to check out the sandcastle part of the BW. She only stayed 5 min there, since it's for smaller kids. Then we went back to the play apparatus part, where we were in the AM. Alot more crowded, which I figured it would be. Left the BW area about 3pm, as they were making an announcement for about 20 min in the BW area that inclement weather was going to come. Wasn't clouding up yet, but I was ready move out of BW area, been there too long for the day.
Got dressed and we sat and had some italian ice and rested a little bit. Starting to cloud up now. Told the kids you only have about 1 or 2 rides to ride before we leave HP. Did hte swings again and the carousel. As soon as they finished riding the carousel, it started raining, We got in one of hte souvenier shops, past the gated exit. I had thrown some dollar store rain ponchos on the kids. Matthew hates getting rained on, so went into hte souvenier shop. Started pouring right after we got into hte souvenier shop. Waited out the storm with everyone else, it seemed. Chrissy grabbed a candy bar, as she said she she needed it I had to chuckle that I quickly saw a family with Disney ponchos on
After it stopped raining, we left the park to go back to hotel. My feet were killing me and I just wasn't feeling well. So DH picked up Wendy's for dinner and we ate in our hotel room. End of Day 5

Keishashadow- sorry to hear about your mom.
My mom gives me the guilt trips, too. But not about her problems, more like "you are traveling too far", "what happens if you are in a car accident?". Those kind of worries and guilts. Another guilt trip is "What happens if something happens to your grandmother, if she dies while you are all gone on vacation?"
My dad told me, "don't worry about your grandmother. If she dies, we'll keep her frozen until you come back". This is what my dad actually said to me
Grandma is 91 yrs old,living at a nursing home, and she is doing fine. Saw her this past Sunday.


ky07-enjoyed the squirrel pic,too!

 

[tlinus]

where in the books does it say that if something happens while we are on vacation, that we are going to stay on vacation???

geez oh man

Thanks and here are some of my trip pics and we had a great time and can't wait till next year.this is just three cause i have tons but don't want to bore you all

homie, you could never bore us with pics.

a lot of us homies here, live through other people's trips.....

[/IMG][/IMG]

i always love the big fish pics.
someone always sticks their head in jaws.
i need one of those pics for myself.

maybe i could take a pic of me while my head is inside jaws. think i would need to use the flash then so you all could see the inside of jaws..

Good morning everyone-



Glad all of you are enjoying my Hershey Park TR so far!

you are doing a super job on the trip report rose.
are the kids doing better today? hope so.

I smell a trip report!!!

Go over to the Universal Trip reports board and do one.....ya know ya wanna

listen to tracie. she speaks for the homies here !

starting to pack for Saturday ; things were going swell....

until my mom started with her phantom illness today, saying she can't be left alone (with middle DS; soon to be 21) . No medical reason (just got the bill from last full workup in the hospital a month or so ago), just doesn't want me to go.

Anyone else ever go thru this w/parents or grandparents?



hope everyone's day is a goodie!

keisha, i'll call her everyday and yak with her. maybe i will tell her i am you so it will be like you never left. think that will work?

i totally understand someone very dependent on you. i have that also and it gets tough at times. some days and nights it is down right exhausting.
i have no answers to help you. if i did, i would solve my issue and that hasn't happened yet.

hang in there, it will work out.

if i miss a day of calling my mom, she will wait one day and then call me and asked if i was in the hospital as i missed calling her the day before.
sometimes i have to call her twice in a day.

lately, i have put son on the phone and neither one of them listens to each other. they both talk about themselves and it lasts for 45 minutes.
they have no idea what they then talked about.

but, it works for me.



hope all the homies here and reading have a super day.

 

[macraven]

tracie, start posting and get that count up....



penny, i heard about that also.
such sadness for all of us.

 

[bubba's mom]

rose....loved the TR....sounds like you all had a great time at the Boardwalk area in HP (glad to hear, as from what I could see, I wasn't impressed!)

janet....Mom will be fine. Are you supposed to put your life on hold waitin' on her?? Life is just too short....live, she will be fine. It's just a shame she doesn't realize what she is doing to you....if you love someone, you don't make them feel like that! (We'll make ya forget all about her w/ a few margaritas )

tracie....i don't think you will have a problem hitting 1000 posts before i leave We all work Monday yet, so we will have a quickie dinner here home before heading to your neck of the woods (staying at the Hilton i think Monday nite)....i think the 1000 is in the bag!

mac...things seem to be going better for you.....i'm glad! don't forget your "job" while I'm gone!

ky07...more pix! more pix! more pix!
