Jenn Greene organized a great meet-up at Dutch Wonderland in Lancaster, PA. We decided to make a weekend of it, and camped at the Elizabethtown/Hershey KOA. We all met up at Dutch Wonderland on Saturday, and then Hershey Chocolate World on Sunday! It was so great to see so many of our friends, Kim and Preston, the Camenga's, the Greene's, the Hall's, the Yiakannis', the Swartley's, the Weisser's, and the Dressel's! I hope I'm not forgetting anyone, but it has been two months!
Dutch Wonderland is a great little amusement park for younger children. Trace was barely walking, only having his casts off for a couple weeks, but we still had a great time! We spent a lot of time with the Yiakannis', Taylor and Peyton are the same age and really hit it off!
Trace LOVED this horribly boring ride...can you see how focused on figuring out how to control the bucket he was?
What Taylor thought about the same ride (although Ben is happy in the background)...
Taylor and Peyton!
Attempts at group shots...
The Straight Leg Club...
How sweet are Peyton and Jaxson? My kids only hug if they want something...
Trace was ultra-cooperative. At one point, he was even "snoring"...
Girls who were totally over having their pictures taken...
I have to post this, and hope that Cory forgets in the next month before we see him again...he LOVED this ride, seriously, he was FORCING Parker to ride it...
On Sunday, most of us met up at Hershey Chocolate World for the *free* tour! We got there first, and of course Trace had a backpack of cars. It was actually really nice to let the kids play a while so us parents could chat!
I guess Trace didn't want to share this truck, he went like 20 yards away by himself to play with it, lol!
Hot mamas! (Seriously, it was like 90 outside, we were really hot)
Sunday afternoon we returned to the campground and spent the day being lazy! They had a great pool and the kids had fun playing!
The KOA was great, and if you are up for camping, or even renting one of their "Kabins", I highly suggest it! Hayrides nightly, movie on the lawn, cool pool, a couple playgrounds!
Love all the pictures of the kids! I cracked up at Trace trying to take his shoe off. Looked like everyone was having a great time.
ReplyDeleteThat was such a fun weekend for all of you! I am SO jealous that you are all close enough for weekend fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat post Destini! I completely feel for you, since FB I have less time for blogging :-( I love all the pictures, happy kids, hot mamas :-) The one with only kids and mommies taking pictures reflected in the mirror is a hit! I hope that next time we will not miss meeting you :-)
ReplyDeleteI only blog every couple weeks or so don't feel bad. Maybe I will get out to PA since my sister in law just moved there for school and I have a friend moving there in a couple days. With so many friends and family on the east coast, that is the perfect excuse for a vacation out there. SO nice to hear about the KOA campsites. If we decide to buy a trailer we may plan our vacations via KOA sites. Everyone looks like they had a fabulous time!
ReplyDeleteGreat pics - looks like you guys had a lot of fun at the KOA site, love the pool pics - too cute! Kylie also pointed out that Tay was in pictures with 'her friend' Peyton, LOL, we're gonna have to get those three together sometime!
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Love seeing all your photos from our fun get together! "The Straight Legs Club" is awesome! Looks like the campsite was totally cool with that nice pool!!! Can't wait for the next get together!!!
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a great trip! I'm glad to hear how much fun you had! It looks like a blast! (Did you get any shopping in at the awesome outlets in Lancaster?)
ReplyDeleteYour blog is so much fun to read! Thanks for sharing!!!
I know it was two months ago, but it was still so nice to see all the pics. Let me tell you Trace was really nice sharing his toys because I packed a bag of toys for Nashville and it was a fight sometimes having Preston dole out cars and trucks. Hopefully we will see you guys really soon again!
ReplyDeleteIt was so great to see you guys! Love seeing all of these pictures! Taylor and Peyton are so cute together, and yay for the straight leg club! Trace is always so sweet to share his cars and trucks with all of the other kids! That campground looks awesome! Hopefully, we will have a camper next summer!
ReplyDeleteHope to see you guys again soon!
