We are blessed to have the coolest friends ever, who gave us 3 free tickets to Hershey Park! All we had to get was one child's ticket. We went on Friday and had such a great time! Adam's parents were nice enough to watch Addie, so we were able to spend the entire day with just the boy. We got to the park around 11am and didn't leave until 10pm! Around 4:00 a thunder storm rolled in so we left to get dinner. Dinner was by far the worst part of the day. 2 boys who missed a nap and then slept for 15min. in the car, slow service and a new waitress.
The day was an encouraging reminder that we are making progress in maturity. No diapers, no bottles, both boys walked, they were able to tell us what they wanted to ride, etc. When you have 3 kids under the age of 4, there are days that you can't see the light at the end of the tunnel. Yesterday was a day were the light was real bright! We've loved all of our kids as babies, but Adam and I look forward to being able to do things with them.
The first ride- a train of course!
Adam and I noticed after a couple rides how lucky the boys were to have each other to ride with. Works out well for mom & dad who were able to sit and watch while other parents had to ride with their son or daughter.
Bryson chose to not ride with us. Tanyon and I had fun though.
While he waited, Bryson studied the map to find the water park. That is all he was focused on when we first got there.
Boy did they have fun when we found the water park!
Daddy taught the boys how to ride waves in the kiddie wave pool.
Maybe the boys might like the ocean the next time we go to the beach.
The water park was not for parents that wanted to sit back and stay dry. We were ALL soaked! It definitely beat the 90 degree weather!
We took this picture for Uncle Craig since Bryson reminded us that Craig's favorite candy is the peanut butter one!
In our PJ's and ready for the trip home to Mammaw's. This really wasn't the true face that Bryson was wearing the last 30 minutes of the night. Instead of a physical roller coaster, Bryson rode an emotional roller coast. We had 2 rides were he just lost it because we said we were riding them. At the end of the first ride, as we were walking off, Bryson looked at the lady operating the ride & informed her "I LOVED this ride". Adam and I had to remind ourselves that these little episodes were the result of it being 10pm. Honestly, the boys did go strong until the end or we would of left sooner!
This is probably a more realistic picture! :)
When I asked the boys what they liked best, Tanyon responded "the water slide" and Bryson said "all of it!".
A memorable moment- as we're walking out of the park, Bryson says "Mom, this wasn't the best day ever." A little surprised, but not shocked (because of the melt downs), I say why not? He's response- "We didn't see the chocolate bar guy!" At that point I had to fight back the urge to laugh. But as we were close to the exit of the park, Bryson spotted the chocolate bar guy. Bryson looked at me and said,"Mom this was the best day ever!" Thanks again to our coolest friends ever for the tickets because we would of never been able to afford this trip!

Christian really wants to go there now. He told me we need to go tomorrow when he saw the picture of that train. I think he's a little jealous. It looks like you guys had a great time. I always thought Hershey would be something for kids who are a little older, but it looks like your boys were the perfect age to have a great time.
We are so glad that you guys had such a good time at Hershey. The pictures are great!!! Wish we could have been there to see the boys at the water park! Maybe it will work out that we can all go together to Candy Lane again this year. :)
