Week in PA

 

We had a great time in Pennsylvania last week with Mimi and Grandpa while Daddy and Winnie held down the fort in NC.  We did fun touristy activities each day, and one of our outings was to visit City Island.  The kids enjoyed looking through the binoculars at Harrisburg's skyline while we waited to ride an old fashioned paddleboat, The Pride of the Susquehanna:    

It was a beautiful day for our riverboat cruise, and these kiddos were intrigued by the giant water-filled paddles spinning at the boat's stern: 

 

Leah discovered the wheel at the bow and assumed the role of Captain, which entertained us all:

We also couldn't resist the opportunity to go miniature golfing while on City Island, and the kids flew through the course, pausing only for a brief swing ride with our resident golf pro, Grandpa: 

 

 As always, we visited Hershey Chocolate World during our PA visit, and had tasty milkshakes after the tour:

Being around all of that chocolate must have made us hungry, so Leah and Mimi made us yummy brownies for dessert: 

 

We also visited Grandpa's pool, and the water slides were a big hit.  L&L must have gone down these dozens of times:

 

I'm saving our day at the amusement park for the next blog post, but as you can see, we had a great week in PA, and packed in lots of fun!
