It’s All Downhill From Here

Grandma W. treated us to a trip to Hersheypark.  Grandmas are just the best aren’t they?

The big kids love their roller coasters.

Ben enjoyed some Italian Ice.


We also rode the bumper cars, The Kissing Tower, The Flying Falcon, the train, the Himalaya, the sea lion show, The Pirate…


…and many others including the Skyride…

…and The Whip…


…and Maddie’s favorite, The Storm Runner (I snapped this picture ~illegally, I discovered~from the t.v. screen showing the picture Hersheypark took—shhh, don’t tell on me):

But we saved the best (in their minds, not mine) for last:  Tidal Force.   Dave and I bowed out, and Jack chickened out.  So here we go.

Going Up!  (Maddie and Ben are the two with their hands up).

Coming down!

Splash!

Rainbow!

 

Totally soaked, but worth it!

Then they talked my baby into doing it…
(This picture’s pretty darn good seeing as the photographer had her eyes squeezed shut.)

Thanks for a great day, Grandma!
