Aaron and I spent a weekend visiting with our friends, Steve and Kellie and their son Bennett. They live in Hershey PA and showed us some of the different sites in Lancaster and Hershey. Saturday morning we drove to see the Amish and went to a farmers' market where we tasted samplings of their homemade goodies. They are friendly people who have a gift for making beautiful crafts and furniture - not that I'm advertising for them. Anywho....we also drove by their farms and over a covered bridge. They say if you kiss on the bridge, you will have seven years of good luck. So kissed we. On our way back we stopped at a pretzel factory and tried our new luck at making pretzels.
The day continued with a tour of Hershey’s Chocolate World. It was fun to see how the famous chocolate is made. Merchandise galore! Anything you can imagine they have available. It was cool. The rainy weather from earlier in the day scared off the big crowds at Hershey Park so when the skies cleared up in the evening it was perfect for Hershey Park in the dark. Aaron tried to win Niki a stuffed animal by scoring points with Skee Ball – but it turned out that Niki was much better at the game than he was and so she ended up winning the stuffed Hershey kiss for herself! We laughed pretty hard about that! On our way back to Erie we took a few pictures of the town of Hershey and enjoyed the fresh chocolate smell in the air. What a fun trip! Thanks Kellie, Steve, and Bennett for being such great hosts! We had a BLAST!

Hershey is one place I am sad we didnt go. We may have to when we come back for graduation.
You guys are having the time of your lives out there!!! Well, I know it's not all peaches and cream all the time, but think of all the places you have visited and the memories you are creating together! How fun! We really miss you!
That looks like a ton of fun. We hope to go there before we move home. See you Thursday night for game night!!!

FUN! We are heading to Lancaster and Hershey for Thanksgiving. We'll have to talk so you can tell us any MUST see places.
Hey guys - we had so much fun. We're really glad you came. Hopefully we will be able to make it up there sometime!
Looks like fun, you guys will have to take us on a tour someday. We've never been back east. Does the air really smell like chocolate in Hershey PA?
