Spencer’s Birthday and Hershey Chocolate World

So we made plans to go to Hershey’s Chocolate World with my mom, sister, my grandparents and a couple of cousins earlier this month. It just so happened that we went on the day of Spencer’s birthday. Everyone came up the day before, so we had Spencer open his presents that day since everyone was there to celebrate.

He’s screaming “Mack!!!” in this picture, he got a Cars 3 duplo set that came with Mack the Truck :)

Along with some Little People sets and that really awesome stuffed Lightning McQueen, I’d say he got a pretty good haul this year ;)

The next day we drove up to Hershey, PA to go to Hershey’s Chocolate world. It’s about 2 hours away so we left first thing in the morning for our first scheduled activity: Custom Chocolate Bar Making!

Spencer did NOT want to wear the required hairnet ;)

We walked around to see all the fun chocolate/candy theme displays and gift shop.IMG_6538IMG_6539IMG_6508

We also watched the 4D film – which was a little weird,but the kids enjoyed it…mostly. Nathan got a little scared at the beginning, but was okay for the rest of it.

We stopped for lunch at the Soda Shop diner before the rest of our activities for the day.IMG_6512

After lunch was our trolley ride. The boys really liked the ride, and the free chocolate they kept giving out ;)IMG_6532

Our last event was the chocolate tasting experience. Spencer was pretty much done by that point. He hadn’t gotten a nap and was having a hard time by the end of the day, but we made it through the last of the day.

Once we finished the chocolate tasting, we made the drive back home. We had such a great time at Hershey!
