Chocolate World

Chocolate World is dangerously amazing! It smells like Chocolate everywhere you go, beware of the need to eat lots of chocolate. We went on the Trolly Tour, that took us all around downtown Hershey and through the history and story of Mr Hershey himself. I was amazed at the generosity of this amazing chocolate man, and all that their company continues to do.

HERSHEY PARK

Some of my FAVORITE photos of HERSHEY PARK at night :) And then Brian riding the roller coasters too!

big kids now

Yes, it's true. They are old enough for school! So off to preschool they went. And I had a rougher time with it than I thought I would. Let's just say both of our houses are spotless this week. :)

Emma- "when I grow up I want to be Sleeping Beauty' duh!

Seth- 'when I grow up I want to be a fireman' because they don't have to do as much work...

Corning

After the museum, we wandered around downtown Corning on main street. It was cute little town, I couldn't resist a shot of the shops with an empty sidewalk. And then we had to have some ice cream of course!

Corning Adventures

Brian and I had a nice little day trip down to Corning, NY to visit the Corning Museum of Glass. We watched a few glass demonstrations, walked through the museum and learned how glass is made and reshaped.

look whose old now...

The first week of being 27 was no problem, but sadly now it is starting to set in. I feel old. I am no longer in the younger category. Sad day! Oh well, the good news is the hubby finally got me a birthday cake!! He set the bar really high for himself next year :) Thanks for a great Birthday dinner and evening sweetie!

FIRST wine

we are still amateur's by far, but at least now we have our foot in the door! our first wine tour tasting was very fun! we stopped at THREE BROTHERS winery (where they have three stops in one) and it was a great place to try out all kinds of wine. we found some favorites and grabbed a few bottles for the road. later we stopped at another winery for lunch, I'm not sure if I was just starving or if the food was really that amazing, either way it was an amazing day!

Mr & Mrs

What a fun weekend away! We had a blast getting fancy and helping the new Dr & Mrs. Van Valkenburg celebrate in style! We danced our butt's off and everyone loved the tuxedo & wedding dress cupcake pops.

camping with the kids

Our first CAMP trip together (albeit an overnighter) was fantastic! We set up camp. Correction, the kids and I set up two large tents all on our own, a real olympic event! Then we had lunch and headed down to the beach for the day. After our sun, sand and water, we attempted a nap and movie time. Then off to make dinner and get dirty. The kids enjoyed every minute I think :) and a huge thanks to our friends who joined us to make the camping trip even more fun!

trashy

Just a few fav's from our annual white trash party @ The Wilkofsky's :)
