Holiday Weekend Fun

I was trying to find something free to do with the kids on the 4th. First we went to the SPCA and it was closed. Then we went to the library and it was closed! SO right across the street from the Library, we checked out You Made It. It is rather expensive, but we decided it was worth it! We each made a plate. Alisia and Emily made flowers on their plates and wrote words. Caleb used stamps. He did the whole thing himself, except pushing the stamp on the plate. I helped him do that so it wouldn't smear over the whole plate. It was a lot of fun right before the parade started.


On Saturday, we woke up early and headed to Hershey Park. It was a beautiful day! The whole family was able to go except for my dad because he had to work. It was everyone's first time there and we had a great time together. I love being able to have fun as a group, but also go off and enjoy your own thing.

We were thankful the lines weren't long! The boys did great waiting their turn!

Alisia tried her first roller coaster! I don't know if she was more nervous or if I was! I was squeezing her hand the whole time as she sat right beside me. I heard her screaming...then all of the sudden she stopped! She said she had to close her eyes.
Alisia ended up doing 4 more roller coasters after that. She's getting soo big!
It was such a beautiful day, the water rides felt soo good!

How fun...looks like there was alot going on.

Great pic of the fireworks.

I have taken my girls to a similar "make it" place. They were able to make plaster animals and paint them for their daddy for fathers day. It was a neat experience and i'd like to take them again sometime soon.
