I got a little quesy after going on so many rides.

Today we went to an amusement park it was a bunch of fun and we went on everything like 50 times because there was only like 7 rides but they were all fun. i got sick and thought i was gona throw up because we went on all the rides so many times but in the end i did not throw up.

Me naming all of the reasons why we should not get out of the car and walk past the spooky graveyard in the dark to the old church on the hill.  I mean, really!  Haven’t they watched those movies?

Today after the park we all went to a scary grave yard and scary church in the middle of no where  because everyone except me wanted to go and see some bats and in the end we did not even see any. but when we were there i was so scared and when we were in the middle of  no where  we had hardly any gas so i was scard that we would get stuck out there. but we did not and we are safe in the hotel again.

Today we went and saw the liberty bell it was pretty cool. My fav. part about  today was when we got to see Genos and Pats and then we got to taste it and see which one was better Jorded, Matt, and Uncle Justin all picked Genos and Aunt Dawn picked Pats but I like them both the same amount and I couldn’t pick which one I also decied that I love cheese steak. It is sooo good. I had a really good day! I LOVED going to the hershey place it was sooo cool and I love chocolate and everything there was chocolate so it was awesome. I think it was one of my favorite stops that we have had. I really can’t wait till I can come back here again.Well i am having an awesome time on this trip:)

Matt and me waiting for our food to arrive at Denny’s Beer Barrel Pub in Clearfield, PA.

It was so fun watching the boys try to eat the huge burger! What i had looked a lot better though because it was a meatball sub and it was very yummy. I felt pathetic because i could not finish my 13in sub but the boys only had a little of the 2lb. hamburger left. When we were there we got to see a 50lb. hamburger it was sooo big. When we asked denny questions he was very nice. I had an awesome day 🙂
