Matthew's a Twizzler, Courtney's a Jolly Rancher!

We arrived in Hershey, PA around mid day and got settled into the Hershey Highmeadows campground, about a mile from the park. Darin registered us and came out with a big treat - a huge Hershey Special Dark bar, Lynelle's favorite! What a guy! A friend had given us the scoop on the to dos in Hershey, so we took in the 3D movie and the Chocolate Tour, which were great. Heading over to the park around 5, we checked out the map of rides. In this park, your height determines what rides you can go on, and each level is a candy...thus Courtney was Jolly Rancher, Matthew a Twizzler! We hit almost every roller coaster, and Matthew convinced Courtney to go on the first water ride. Once they were soaked through and through, they hit the remaining 3 water rides before it was time to go. Our favorite was a roller coaster where spectators on the ground could shoot water up at the people on the ride. Darin and Lynelle waited patiently for the kids to get on the ride, then Darin expertly douced them with the water guns!
