July 1-3 trip

These are in reverse order. This is a picture of how a soldier would have dressed during the encampment at Valley Forge in 1777-1778. He is holding his musket with the bayonet attached.


This is an example of the type of cabin that the soldiers built for themselves to live in. About 12 soldiers lived in each of these cabins. The girls learned quite a bit about Valley Forge this year so this was interesting to see.

This is Kiss Works. The kids got to package Hershey Kisses.


These pictures are at Sesame Place.

This is Trent going down the big water slide.

This is Brayden splashing into the pool at the end of the big slide.









Our trip was a good one. The kids enjoyed it all. They all went on all of the rides. I couldn't believe that the boys wanted to go on the big water slides. They did great and went on them all quite a few times. We only had a couple of minor incidents. They have this 4 story tall ropes tunnels to climb in. The only problem is that there are about 12 exits from this structure. Trent climbed all of the way to the oppostie side, and then started bolting down the stairs to find us. We were on the opposite end. Luckily we saw him doing that. Jay went to go get him. He was calling his name, but when Trent got to the bottom and hadn't found us, he curled up in a ball against the fence. The next time, Jay just went right with Trent on the ropes so he wouldn't get scared. The other minor incident is that Trent fell asleep while standing next to me. I looked down, and he was face down on the ground. I asked him what happened while I was helping him up. He didn't know. He just kept on licking his lollipop.
