fearfully and wonderfully made...: lancaster '11 (hershey park...)

The last big thing we did was spend a day at Hershey Park. I was afraid that it would be filled with all things chocolate, but other than the name, we wouldn't have known we were at Hershey Park. With William's dairy allergies, I thought it might be tempting to him to be surrounded by chocolate, but that wasn't the case at all. They had a chocolate factory we could tour, but that was outside the park. So we were grateful that William was able to enjoy himself without having to worry about his allergies. =)

Josiah's first time riding alone on a ride. He did so well even though I'm sure he wasn't sure what to expect. Up until this point, he hasn't really been on any rides before.

Josiah cracked me up the more I watched him ride. He typically would have this stoic expression, so we never really knew if he actually enjoyed the rides or just put up with them.

William loved playing skeeball.

Josiah had to have a try, of course.

The "Frog Hopper" cracked me up. It lifts them up in the air and drops them a little. William would not try this ride for some reason. He is very picky about the rides he will go on. I was hoping William would go on with Josiah, but William was adamant about not going. Josiah, on the other hand, was willing to try anything. So he went on his own. Again, he had his stoic expression, so we weren't sure how he was taking it all in.

Josiah sat next to a little girl who was FREAKING OUT the entire time, screaming her head off. I was afraid Josiah might start crying because of her, but he just maintained his stoic face. We weren't sure what he was thinking...

But then he finally cracked a smile! I was relieved that the terrified little girl next to him didn't phase him. (You can disregard the older lady next to them, even though she obviously is very much enjoying the ride. She seems unphased by the little girl as well.)
