Steve and I just got back from beautiful Pennsylvania! We went there to visit Steve's cousin and his family and also to see a friend of ours from BYU that we haven't seen in forever! We drove out Thursday, and got in by early evening. On Friday we met our friend, Danny, and he took us on a tour of his hometown, Hershey Pennsylvania! It was so much fun. I seriously felt like Charlie going to the Willy Wonka Chocolate Factory. We saw where all the yummy treats like Reese's, Kit Kats, and all kinds of Hershey chocolates are made, took a tour of the town by trolley, and got to see the school that Milton Hershey and his wife built for orphaned boys, that is still running today. It was such a beautiful town and all the Spring blossoms were out. It was gorgeous! Plus I loved how everything had to do with chocolate...even the street lamposts had Hershey's kisses on them. The Saturday highlights included: playing in the park with Derek & Hilary and their cute kids, Kenyon, Damon & Selah, Dr. Steve pulling out Kenyon's first loose tooth, going to Kenyon's baseball game, and of course the adventerous canoe trip on the Yellow Breeches River. The trip was wonderful! We loved being able to have so much fun with family and friends. We are lucky to be in a spot where we can drive to so many new, beautiful places!

I am so jealous! I have always wanted to go to Hershey, Pennsylvania! How fun and delicious! I love chocolate. Kentucky is especially fabulous for the fact that we can drive to so many awesome places! Looks like you had tons of fun.
Looks like it was a lot of fun!! I was just complaining to someone the other day what bad cabin fever I have & how I miss so many great places just being an hour's drive way. So, I'm glad to see you guys get out & go have fun.
Wow! I love your pics. And you are looking so skinny too! I don't know how I could contain myself in a chocolate factory. Yummy.
How fun! So is this where you lost your phone? It looks so nice and beautiful there.
this was not fun reading while i was on a no sugar diet...sorry about the phone! Glad you had fun in the interim, though. Did you get any good chocolate souvenirs?
I love the Hersey Factory! It's been years since I've been there. I took a school field trip there and my family would go during the summer. It's such a cool place.
