Hersheypark

Day 3 was filled with some serious riding. Roller coasters, trains, monorails, swing rides, frog hoppers, giant slides, and more roller coasters. We arrived at Hersheypark at 10:00AM and slowly eased into riding. Justin was ready to rock right away, but Josh (and Jennifer) were content to watch us ride at first. We rode the Comet roller coaster first, then the Swing Ride (twice), the Giant Slide, and the Miniature Train. Josh took a nap while Justin and Jennifer waited TWO HOURS for the Roller Soaker. It's a pretty cool ride that has a roller coaster track that you ride on while people squirt you with water from down below. I imagine it felt good getting soaked on this hot day (it was about 90 degrees), but Justin said it wasn't worth the 2 hour wait in line. Oh well. After lunch, we rode the Trailblazer roller coaster. Even Joshua rode! It was his very first roller coaster ride, and he claims he didn't like it (but I think he really did). The rest of afternoon was spent riding and eating...two of our favorite things! We rode more roller coasters: the Lightning Racers (twice), the Wildcat (twice), the Wild Mouse, and the Trailblazer (two more times!). Joshua really loved the Monorail ride around the park. He even managed to get Jennifer on the Frog Hopper! By 8:00PM, we were ready to head for our next hotel, the Comfort Inn in Bethel, Pennsylvania. It's a very nice place, very clean. Well, it's off to the pool for a quick swim (including Josh!) and them some much-needed sleep...
