~I Think We Are Having Fun~




Oh, the heights a child will go! Up, UP, UUPPP! & away we go ...

Tatiana, then Ansel, 'adopted' James & Poppy ... Poppy is too pooped, keeps saying he is 'too old' for this. Chuckle!

What a wild day on the highest of high roller coaster rides, lifts into the air rides, spin & shaky rides, cotton candy, hot dogs, french fries, fresh squeezed lemonade .. hot sun!!

Oh, the joy of the squeals & excitement of the wee ones. Our yearly trek of 'school's out celebration' at Hershey Park.

Well, maybe Poppy is right, that as a lot of walking for 12 hours ....

  1. Oh my gosh Peanut Butter:
    I would say that everyone (yes including Poppy) had a wonderful time. Look at the expressions on those babies' faces. They were having the time of their lives. What wonderful memories. I just love family photos. Thanks for sharing this fine day. I love you, Jelly

  9. Looks like everyone had fun. One year my oldest grandson talked me into going on the Kamakazee ride at the fair... I screamed so loud I was hoarse for a week. LOL

  10. I never got past the merry-go-round, tiltawhirl or ferris wheel except for one time at Silver Dollar City in the Ozarks when we went on Fire in the Hole. Turned out to be a bit of a roller coaster! It wasn't too bad since it was inside but they turned out the lights. Anyway I survived. It looks like all were having a grand time on your day out. :-) Carol

  11. I wish I had the stamina to do that sort of thing anymore. I could probably make it but it would be tough.
    It looked like you were having a wonderful time! :) Things like that make it a real "summertime." :)

  18. This looks like lots of fun. From experience, it tends to be the Grandpas that wear out first. I know mine did when we went on a trek to the zoo, ONCE! He wasn't ever up for it again, poor thing!

  29. How wonderful to have such a fun filled day. I have always stuck to the milder rides. That was a lot of walking for you. I would have pooped out after two hours.
