Off on another trip. This time to Hershey PA and environs. We met up with other families who adopted from Lian's institution in China, HanZhong SWI. Camping again. We found out the tent is indeed waterproof on Saturday night. Which had the pleasant side effect of killing the very nasty wood smoke, someone in the grounds was burning their garbage, plastic and all.
We did get in a sunset swim.
The main event - Hershey Park. It was a lot of fun and the lines for kiddy rides not more than a few minutes. However the wait for the lazy river in the water park area nearly put Lela over the edge, as it was under another ride that dumped water on those below every few minutes. She freaked out despite the fact that it was me getting wet bending over her - and it felt good on a hot day.
But they had a carousel, and best of all from her point of view, a full size roller coaster for the height challenged (over 36” can ride.) Adrenalin junkie Lela’s first comment? “Let’s get back in line right away!” Lian, (smart girl) declined a second trip. I gritted my teeth pasted on a smile and went again, I’m in Lian’s camp.
Chocolate World! How chocolate is made - and buying opportunity.
The next day we all got together for brunch. These are all the kids from HanZhong. They are all from different years as it turned out. Lian is second from right with the happy look.
And these are ALL the kids.
Too many monkeys jumping on the bed.
Sunday afternoon we went to visit some of my family who lives nearby (my Grandma Armstrong was from PA) Cousin Mary Ann put out a delicious spread of traditional Pennsylvania treats, like red eggs.
Back home again, other big events. I turned hum, hum, hum, years old. OK, OK, 39.
