Hershey Park

Someone in our church was able to get us free Hershey Park tickets, so Adam and I went yesterday. We had an AWESOME time! It was VERY hot, but we enjoyed every minute of being together.



This was the first "ride" we went on...the skylift. We both can't stand the roller coasters or spin-me-till-I-lose-my-lunch rides, so we rode all the tame ones. :)

Next were the bumper cars!

There's actually a nice zoo in the park, too. We stopped in to look at all the animals (and to cool down in the air conditioning!).

This was one of our favorite rides--the kissing tower! :)

It has these cute Hershey kiss windows...

Some of the riding instructions were funny!

We could see the whole park from the tower...

...and managed to get a little smooching in as well :)

Classic car ride...

We really liked the log flume, too...

Watch us go down the Log Flume!


Adam playing with the camera...

Riding the monorail

The monorail took us by the REAL Hershey factory.

After walking around in the heat for a while, we decided to sit down and figure out where we were...

On the Ferris Wheel

Next we took a train ride around the park...

Adam in the classic cars...

...driving like Jehu! :)

Here's another Log Flume ride at Hershey (we didn't ride this one!). Check out that splash! The people who got off the ride were totally SOAKED.

The very last ride we went on was the carousel...

After a great time in the park, we visited Hershey's Chocolate World (my personal favorite :))

On the tour ride...

These cows were rather interesting...they SANG!

Mmmmmmm.....

Oh yeah!

Adam matched all the Reese's stuff!

This is TOTALLY our next car. :)

Leaving the park and heading to dinner

We wrapped up our day by going to Olive Garden for dinner (the place we had our very first date!).

After our meal, Adam leaned back and said, "That was good, but it sure wasn't as good as my Wubie's cooking." I love you, Adam! :)

THE END. :)

Babysitting

Last Friday Adam and I watched the Barfield kids while Matt and Chrysta went out to dinner. It was quite an exciting time! :) The boys all LOVE to climb...especially on Adam!

At one point we decided to play hide-and-seek so that Adam could have a little break. :) I found Adam hiding behind the couch like this...

However, when he tried to get out, he realized that he was stuck! Oops! It took him a little while to get out, but he finally made it.

The Barfields only have one little girl --Ellie. We decided to get a "girl picture." :)

Trip to the Maryland Zoo

Yesterday Adam and I took Zach Putnam (a kid from church) to the Maryland Zoo. Zach is an only child and doesn't have many friends, so Adam wanted to take him out and do something fun. The zoo was great!





What a life!


The skunks were smelly!

I took this picture of a raven because one of my favorite literature poems is "The Raven" by Edgar Allen Poe. "Quoth the raven, 'Nevermore!'"

That's one BAD hair day!

Adam's gonna make a GREAT dad someday (no, that is NOT a hint! :)). Here he is helping Zach locate the different animals through the binoculars.

It must be a guy thing...

Next, we visited the chimpanzees...

I see the resemblance, don't you? :)

In the bamboo forest

I thought this was an interesting sign for the ladies' room!

Camera-man Adam!

These fellas looked like they were having fun diving into the pool!

This one reminded me of Adam in his tux on our wedding day :)

He was kind enough to pose for us...

More animals!

We got pizza and free ice cream for lunch!

After lunch, Adam and Zach rode the train...

In this picture, Adam is jumping on the moveable bridge. Thankfully, I was still on the other side...

Getting ready to enter the cave

SPOOOOOOOOKY!

Zach found a heart-shaped leaf and gave it to me :)

Our last stop was the barnyard, where we were able to compare our heights to the different types of horses.

Adam was a Clydesdale...

Zach needed a little help!

Please notice that I was the THOROUGHBRED. :)

We had a great time together at the zoo!
