Hershey, Pennsylvania - Part 1

Here we are!!!  Amish Country in the Fall... It's beautiful here.  We're staying at a Thousand Trails Park.  The staff and other campers couldn't be nicer and the park is well maintained and our site is spacious, private and overlooks the lake.  Can't get much better than that.  Lots of field trip opportunities up here to round out our studies, so we'll be posting lots if pictures :-)  Here are a few of our favorites so far...

We're right "over there!"  Just follow the arrows :-)

Our site for a spell...

Our little lakeside "window"

The lake at the park

Surrounded by beautiful farmland

Braden's been fishing in his spare time :-)

Aaron's been bike riding and hanging out with his brother...there's so much to explore!

We've had a bit of downtime, too!

They have a great Family Center here at the park.

We went on a Fun Friday Field Trip yesterday to the Turkey Hill Experience in Columbia, PA.  Totally awesome time learning about the story/history behind Turkey Hill, dairy farms, cows, milk production and ICE CREAM!!!  We all give the experience 2 thumbs up ( and it wasn't just because they had unlimited samples!!!!)

Who's that MOO-vie star????

Happy Guys!

My favorite park?  Milking the mechanical cow, of course!

How cute is he?

Cowabunga, dude!

Here we are at Sample Central...yum, yum, yum!!!!!

Oh, that's where Bryan went...

Creating their own ice cream flavor, their own packaging, and then starring in their own commercial!

Aaron made Bearclaw Swirl and Braden did a traditional Moose Tracks :-)

Looking at Good vs. Bad bacteria through gigantic microscopes

We laughed sooooo hard at this station!  Bryan and Aaron are pros in front of the camera...Braden and I feel more comfortable behind the scenes...

Bryan interviewing Daisy the Dairy Cow!

Did you know?????

WOW!

We really learned a lot of interesting facts and had a blast at all the learning stations !  Wish everyday could be a Turkey Hill Day :-)

Stay tuned for our next adventure!!!
