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!

Rock City- Chatanooga TN

We also went to Rocky City on our

stairs but really great views.
