Unforgettable Family Picnic at Hershey Park

Last Saturday, daddy' company had a family picnic day at Hershey Park. Each one of us just had to pay $20 and Sheri is, of course, free since she is under 2 years old. It includes free admission to the Hershey Park, ten game vouchers, parking and lunch from 12.00 pm to 5.00 pm. Considering that the usual admission fee to the Hershey Park for each adult is about $47, that was really a good deal.

Our first stop was the Hershey's Chocolate World where we had a free tour of the chocolate making process.

After the tour at the 'Chocolate World', we could not wait to go for the rides in the Theme Park. As usual for all the Theme parks, we had to measure Sheri's height at the entrance to see what rides are suitable for her. She belongs to 'Hershey Miniature' category. The person at the measuring station found her very adorable and he gave her, according to him, a special Hershey chocolate, as a welcome gift. We let her take a few bites and the rest of it, of course, ended up in mommy and daddy's tummy.

Off we go! Let's wave at daddy!

Here we go again!

As usual, time passed by quickly when we were having fun. It's time for lunch. We went to our designated spot for our lunch where we met a couple of daddy's colleagues. It was a lunch buffet where there was a free flow of food, drinks and best of all, ice cream. Greedy mommy could not control herself but had two servings of ice cream on this hot summer day.

As usual, our little girl fell asleep after lunch. Mommy and daddy decided to try our luck at the game stalls, hoping that we could win something for our little girl.

Daddy was anxiously waiting to see his score after using all his strength to hit the target with the hammer. Not too bad! He won a water bat for Sheri! Good job, daddy!

Mommy went for the 'Captain Splash' where she won a pink puppy for Sheri.

We decided to save the last game voucher for our little girl. After she woke up from her nap, we brought her to the ducky stall where she won a cute little puppy for herself. Good job, baby!

More rides for Sheri!

After all the fun and play, we took an evening walk in the Zooamerica which features North American wildlife. The admission is free with Hershey Park ticket holders.

On our way to Zooamerica, we passed by a row of silos where they stored the cocoa for making the chocolate.

Wow! What a huge cactus!

Just as we were making our way out, mommy told daddy that it was a pity that we did not see any Hershey chocolate mascot. Suddenly, we realized that our little girl was waving frantically at something that she saw at the side. Guess what? She was waving at the Hershey chocolate mascot. At last, mommy's wish was granted. We could finally take a picture with the mascot even though the picture was not very well taken as our little girl was so mesmerized by the Hershey chocolate mascot that she did not want to look at the camera at all.

These were the cuddly toys that we won for our little darling from the game stalls in Hershey Park. Not too bad, right?
The second little puppy from the right was the one that our little girl won for herself at the ducky stall. Well done, baby!
