It usually take a little pre-planning to have a family outing. We research to find coupons and discounts, since we have a family of 6 a day out could add up very quickly.
Feel free to leave a reply with your free/low cost activites!!!
Groupon Coupon for the mini-golf
We have used Groupons several times and its great to check this website for discounts. We have used it for hotels, restaurants, activities, haircuts ect. We always check this website out when we are traveling for deals on activities and restaurants.
Here is a link to sign up for Groupon, signing up by clicking on this link we get a little bonus as well!
We all love having days together, getting away from the everyday routines and the busyness of life. Our calendar quickly filled up for summer so we have planned a couple days throughout the summer for "family fun days"
I am pretty sure we were looking for Olivia's ball...again
Yep, I know we were definitely looking for Olivia's ball this time : )
We couldn't stop laughing at her; she is very competitive and she was trying pretty hard. She just didn't get the concept of hitting softly.
Logan just got a kick out of Olivia playing mini-golf. He kept encouraging her and telling her how great she was doing. She would crack him up with her "skill" he had that belly laugh that comes from deep down as he watched her play.
She tends to hit very hard and very often so Logan started writing a score of 97 on the score sheet per hole.
It's time for some free bowling! Yes, FREE. You sign up and the kids can play 2 games of bowling free per day during the summer.
Parents can sign up to bowl with the kids for 24.99 for the summer. And if you actually wait to sign up they will send you an email and offer another 20% off the parents' price as well.
I so enjoy watching the kids tighten their relationships on days like this.
We all had so much fun bowling. Lots of laughs and it's fun to see the competitiveness break out in our family. Logan woke up this morning talking about how much fun he had and wanted to go back today to bowl.
We have been to several places at Hershey however this was our first time going to the Hershey Story "The Museum on Chocolate"
There is a Groupon currently online that is a great deal
However, since Breanna works at Hershey Park she used her employee discount for our activities.
First time experiencing the Chocolate Lab.
So much fun.
Not sure what to expect, we noticed lots of chocolate and toppings on the table so how on earth can it be anything but good!?
We had a few laughs as we prepared to make our chocolate bars, putting on aprons and hair nets but the best was Billy's beard net
If you know Olivia, you know this was a dream come true...a bowl full of chocolate. After we made our bars the instructors told everyone they were free to eat the remaining chocolate. For the first time in her life she finished a bowl of "Soup"
We went through the Hershey Museum. We learned lots of fun facts about how Hershey (the company and the town) was started.
Here again, I see the bonds tightening in the family. Sweetness.
It's nearly impossible to be across the street from Chocolate World and not go...so we did!
The kids "making" Hershey Kisses. Our kids enjoy going through this process even through they don't purchase the kisses at the end. We went through the free Chocolate World ride,
to get a little treat at the end. You could stay busy for a full day in Hershey Chocolate World, Watching a movie (it is very cute), making your own candy bar (very fun!), packaging Hershey kisses, Chocolate tasting, free factory ride and so much more. Check out this link
I couldn't count how many times we have been through the Chocolate World ride.
Yesterday I leaned over during the ride and whispered to Billy "Do you remember the first time we came?" It was May 2010, we had recently said "yes" to the call to plant a church here in PA and we brought the kids up for their first visit to Harrisburg.

Who would have ever thought then that Breanna would be working at Hershey Park and we would make this a regular stop for friends and family who come to visit. Its amazing to look back and see how God's plan has unfolded over the past 3 years.
Here is a picture from our first Hershey park visit, May 2010
