The Long's Visit (Part 2)

In addition to lots of time hanging out, we did do a couple of activities with the kids.  Of course we had to go down to the farm and see the baby calves, chickens, and have lunch with the family. 

 Playing on the buggy in the calf barn:

 So cute!

Lunch with Grandma, Pap, and Great Grandma Reitz

In the afternoon, LL took the girls for a ride on the Chopper.  They loved it!

On Friday, Leanne, and I drove to Harrisburg and met up with Nora and Evan, and went to Hershey to Chocolate World. The kids had a blast!

 Ready to get on the Chocolate ride!

 The girls absolutely LOVED the ride.  If you have never been to Hershey, there is a FREE ride which takes you through the steps of how they make chocolate.  It's a bit like "It's a Small World" but with a Chocolate theme. :) And you get free chocolate at the end of the ride, too.

Leanne and Mary Audrey:

Nora and Evan (it was his first ride!)

Me with the kiddos on their first ride ;)

Collette and Mary Audrey loved the singing cows most of all.  They sing about "milk chocolate" and Collette keeps singing the song and talking about going on the ride with the cows.

We had such a great time with part of our MS family.  Our years in Mississippi were such an unexpected blessing in so many ways, and we have many many friendships I will cherish for a lifetime. So of course before they departed, we had to get an updated picture! 

Leanne and I:

The girls-- this one deserves a frame! :)

Come back soon, John, Leanne, and Mary Audrey! :)
