Lancaster County

We decided to go to Lancaster County for a couple days during Spring Break. We found a fun hotel, ate at our favorite restaurant, went on the train, went shopping and to an Easter Egg hunt. We had lots of fun. I forgot to turn some pics, so had to redo them and they are out of order. Sorry, but I will explain them!! Two of my handsome men on the train. Anyone else thing Spencer looks like his daddy?
Full baskets after the hunt.
Jordan and mommy model their new aprons. We found these at the farmers market. I saw them last year and didn't get one, so this year I decided I wanted one. I felt more like Martha when I was making Easter Dinner.:)
Our kids love staying in hotels. I think it is because of the cable:) They just love running aroundt he room and seeing all the fun stuff. Spencer was obsessed with the mini fridge, and we had to do the top lock on the door because he could et out. He also felt like he needed to use the dresser drawer for a chair. Should have put one of those pictures up. In this pic, Landon is determined-he saw a cookie crumb under the hotel crib and went after it. We love the Amish buggies. It was too cold to go on a ride this year, but we found this one at our favorite furniture shop. We love to see them as we drive around and the kids would look out the car window to see one. Darin would day "buggy on Jordan's side" and she would get all excited.
Easter Sunday-the pics are our of order. This is a bench in our neighbor's yard...we have lots of pics on it-she doesn't mind. All weekend Landon stuck his tongue out...he really can smile normally.
We went to Hershey Pennsylvania, which is really close to Lancaster. They have a little ride you go on to see how chocolate is made and you get a piece at the end. Of course, we went on the ride twice! You can actually smell the chocolate!! For all the fans of cows, you have to see the singing cows. We picked up some Hershey baking products that I have never seen anywhere else. Jordan found something she wanted to bring home.....how long would it take to eat that?
This is the Strasburg Rail-a real steam locomotive. We love going on a train ride when we visit Lancaster. We were able to see the Easter bunny. All the kids on the trainb were excited because Thomas the train was parked there, but he was being worked on and they were all concerned that his face was missing. We were told that the Thomas weekend is a madhouse...good thing we aren't that huge Thomas fans.


The Easter Bunny gives out lollypops to all the kids. Spencer was excited, although it was everywhere. He sure enjoyed it.

Your trip sounds so fun. I've been to PA countless times and never been to Lancaster. I've gotta do it! Love the aprons! Whatever makes you feel like Martha Stewart!
