Philadelphia, PA

We also visited Philadelphia on our trip.
Here are some photos of Independence
Hall and the Liberty Bell. Our tour guide
for Independence Hall was terrible so Aaron
and I had to walk out and didnt get to see
upstairs. But it was neat to be there anyway

Inside Independence Hall

View of Downtown Philly

On the "Rocky" steps. Aaron

did climb every one of the steps

The 3 men make it to the top!

Gettysburg, PA

While in Gettysburg we visited the battlefield
and took a Segaway Tour

Aaron in his bike cart during out segaway

tour

Look out Pop Pop!

Aaron had alot of fun until he fell asleep...

but worth every bit of the $35 nap!

Our little country boy

Aaron loves to pick an apple
from the apple tree in the front
yard every day. And NO I didnt
wash it....

Camp Fire Fun!

There was a great bon fire area at the farm
house that we couldnt pass up using to roast
some hot dogs...though it was really hot outside.




The hot dogs were very yummy

Lapp Valley Dairy Farm

There is a great dairy farm not far from the
farmhouse. It has awesome chocolate milk and
home made ice cream



There are ALOT of corn fields
around here. But they are used
for food for the cows that produce
the milk in the area. We learned
that most of the milk used to make
Hershey chocolate is produced
by the amish farms in the area.


The cows in the feeding stalls

Aaron was very excited about

seeing the cows

Hershey Gardens- Hershey, PA

This is a view of the city from
Hershey Gardens. You can
see the smoke stacks from the
factory in the background.

Aaron loved the butterfly garden. He wanted

to touch a butterfly but when one landed on

him...

He freaked out!

Hershey Chocolate World

The are 1lb Reese's cups... I love
reese's but this kind of made me
want to throw up
