Our Calendar

Saturday, July 14, 2007


Since we had flown into Hershey, we didn't have a vehicle to take to the different locations, but they weren't extremely far from where we were staying, so we had a 15 minute walk each morning on our way to the activities of the day. I didn't bring my camera to HersheyPark but you can see the Wildcat (a wooden rollercoaster that was added to the park in 1923) which we walked by on our way to the Chocolate World building.


Josiah is examining the building while standing in front of an advertisement for the Really Big 3D Show. It was one of the best 3D shows that I've seen, not for the plot (which was creative, but a little silly), but for the extra special effects. We were showered with water several times (once was when a juicy spider popped in our face!), snowed upon, felt the ground shake under our feet, and - the only one that I couldn't figure out until I examined the seats after the show - could feel mice and other little animals brush against our legs as they scattered through the crowd. It turns out that there were small rubber tubes that extended from the seat and then whipped around, flopping against your legs.


After the show, we ate lunch at the cafeteria there. Amy mentioned that she thought it was a little cool in the building and so Rhonda fashioned some sleeves for her with napkins and the sticks that had been placed in our sandwiches to hold them together.


We were also treated to a ride through a mock factory and showed all the steps in the process of making milk chocolate and packaging the candy.
