Hershey Park

This past Wednesday we all went to Hershey Park. It started out fun, but I ended up getting sick and being miserable the rest of the day.

Brad and I first went on the Comet, an old wooden roller coaster. I was already nervous about getting on it, so I figured we might as well do it first. I told Brad I would be able to ride without screaming. Well, it started off fine. I some how managed to keep from screaming, and I swear I held my breath the entire first few drops and dips and sharp curves. Then finally, I lost it, and screamed. Although I must say, the roller coaster wasn't as scary as I remember it being.

Then we took the kids on the tilt a whirl. This is a ride I used to love when I was younger, but now I will NEVER get on it again. All 3 boys got on with Brad and myself, and they loved it. I spent the entire ride laughing and staring at the boys. Parker leaned forward and laughed the whole time, while Bradley talked in a forced voice and said threw his teeth "my stomach's falling, help, my stomachs falling". Bradley's little face was red, and I could tell he didn't like the feeling of spinning so fast. Dustin didn't seem to really care too much. He just leaned up against me and hugged my arm.

When the ride stopped, Parker with a smile on his face said "I wanna do it again". Bradley then chimed in he wanted to do it again too! I was feeling really dizzy and slightly nauseous . Ignoring the nausea I agreed to get on again with Brad and our boys. The second ride was terrible. Parker still laughed his little butt off, but Bradley, Dustin and myself felt sooo sick. When the ride stopped I had to hand Dustin to Brad, and tried as hard as I could not to puke up my breakfast. I had to run to a bench and put my head between my knee's. lol. I was miserable! That ride ruined my entire day! I basically just pushed myself along the rest of the day for my kids. I wanted them to have a good time.

The only other ride I got on that day was the Trailblazer. It was a mild roller coaster. We got on that coaster twice because it turns out Parker loves the faster, rougher rides. Parker will definitely be daddy's roller coaster buddy. And sadly Bradley and possibly Dustin will be sitting on the bench with mommy. I have always been terrified of coasters, and Bradley is so much like me. He looks like me, and is my little clone. He has the same personality, and attitude. He is also sweet and polite like his mommy. Parker and Dustin seem to be more like their father.

The rest of the rides that day were ridden by the just the boys, Brad, and my mom. I mainly sat behind on a bench and focused on not puking. Ugh, I was so miserable.

I do want to go back for Hershey Park in the dark, or most definitely Christmas at Hershey. We have gone every Christmas for Hershey's Christmas time. It's usually not crowded, and it's a fun experience walking around and seeing all the decorations. Plus having the boys get on all the kiddie rides. Oh, and don't forget Santa and his reindeer can be found there as well. The boys always enjoy seeing the reindeer. Not sure that they enjoy Santa though!
