Hershey, Amish, Poor Weather, Delayed Flights...

Well, they have finished out their vacation by experiencing what I think is fair to describe as the polar opposites of a vacation. One day was spent in Hershey, PA at the Hershey amusement park with some of the tallest and fastest roller coasters they have ever ridden, the other was spent touring Amish country.

Ethan said they had a great time at the Hershey amusement park, he and Kate rode everything. Ethan sounded proud of Kate when he told me that no matter what ride he suggested she was game to go right along with him. Can't say the same about my mom and Garett... they tend to avoid the "thrills and chills." LOL

Yesterday the kids toured the Pennsylvania Amish country. Lots of buggies, beards, hats, etc. Ethan said that he picked up something for his Dad and I. I thought that was so sweet. Both he and Kate are always thinking of other people when they are away like that.

Due to poor weather conditions, thunderstorms, etc. the flight from Philadelphia to Atlanta was delayed a couple of times causing them to miss their flight from Atlanta to LA. They won't be home until early afternoon tomorrow. I'm more than a little bummed, I was really looking forward to seeing them in the morning, I've missed them a lot.

I'm looking forward to getting away for a few days. Mike finally has some well-earned time off and we're going to enjoy some family time.

Happy 4th of July!
