Yikes

Mommy told me to write a story, so I wrote about my favorite thing.

At least, how it used to be before all this rain.  Yep, this is our backyard. There is grass under there.  Way under there.

See that pool in the front yard? It's now connected to the backyard pool by the moat on the side of the house.

And, this is how the sewer pipe exploded in our basement.  Argh.

Beauty

Miss Alex makes the best french braids ever.

Hershey Park, We Love You!

Twins!

Arizona meets New Jersey, in Pennsylvania!

Even better!

Family time!

I love my family.

Thanks to the nice stranger who helped us capture this beautiful moment.

Samantha is a great photographer.

Kinda.

We are the luckiest family ever. Yesterday we learned that even though the park is officially not opened for the season, military families can get in today. And Grandpa Frank is retired military. And he's my Grandpa. So this is how it feels when the stars align!

Yep, carousel heaven!

I love you, Mommy!

This is my heaven, right here.  I love you, Mommy!

Helicopter rides.

Sisters are the bestest!

Grandpa Frank and me!

Grandma Carol and Samantha!

He might have been a little scared.  Me too....

But not Samantha.

Higher!

This is more my speed.

Samantha went on her first ever upside down roller coaster ride at the age of five.  The Super Dooper Looper. Mommy and Daddy we so excited for her and even more thrilled that everyone at the park was super well behaved and nice to each other.

Great weekend and we look forward to making Hershey Park an annual visit with Grandma and Grandpa!

Tale Of Two Different Candy Bar Makers

Did you know that Christina can fall out of any bed?  Mommy says it's her talent. Mommy gets kinda annoyed when this happens because then she can't fall back asleep even though Christina goes right to bed again.

Well, Christina still work up early for the day, so she and Mommy went downstairs and discovered the world of Peppa Pig. Christina was in heaven and Mommy walked the hotel lobby.

Christina got up a bit too early and ended up falling asleep on our way to Hershey Park's Chocolate World.

When she woke up she got her snuggle on with Daddy.

But as soon as she saw the ride we were about to go on, she got really scared and cried.  I know, cried.  You're shocked, right?

Wahoo, Aunt Helen and me!

Hey, a chocolate bar that has my name on it. Literally. Literally, we need to bring it home so I can eat it. Literally.

I am such a lucky duck to have such great family that jumps at the chance to travel super far to spend the weekend with me.

And Christina too!

You are never going to believe what we are getting scrubbed up to do.  Can you guess? Can you?

I'm not telling!

Um, I might be a tad more excited than Christina.

Like, totally excited.

Even Mommy had trouble snappy champion of all criers out of her funk.

See that in my hand?  It happens to be my golden ticket.

See what I mean?

Daddy tried too.

Here we go, scanning my ticket to make my very own chocolate bar

Christina liked it too but she didn't want to appear too happy or Mommy and Daddy would think they are amazing parents.

Here we go!

Getting happier.

What?  Uncle Skunk???  Where did you come from?

Lunch time

Yummy!

Grandpa Frank and Christina!

Krempa noses unite!

Woah, we found the best wooden playground ever and Christina loved it.  Me too!

We had the best time ever with everyone at the park.  Mommy told us about the wooden park she played on when she went to Canterbury Woods Elementary School. She was bummed when they tore the playground down for 'safety' reasons. I'm pretty sure she had as much fun today as we did!
