Valentine's Weekend

So at the last minute Ryan decided we needed to get away for the weekend. We decided on going to Hershey since there was a few things we could do there to keep us and Aidan entertained.


Our first stop was ZooAmerica, which is a Zoo of North American animals that's open all year round. I will state Aidan was disappointed there were no "elelants".
Checking out the RoadRunners in the Midwest exhibit. Man those little guys were quick!

To help you appreciate this, I am as tall as a black bear...I would not want to meet a Polar Bear.


Aidan enjoyed seeing the "Big Cats", and especially the Ocelots (Ollelots). When he saw the Bison he called them Elephants, and hey they are both huge animals...so we went with it haha.  He also enjoyed the spotted owl who he says has "big eyes", which were eyeing him like he was lunch!

We covered the whole Zoo in about an hour and didn't wait to stick around in the cold for a special chocolate-themed feeding for the Wolves. 

All in all, the Zoo was a success, and Aidan loved the animals.



All that animal-gawking made us hungry so we found our way over to Friendly's where Aidan finished off his lunch with his first ever upside-down clown conehead sundae!

Ok, so maybe all 3 of us enjoyed the Sundae.....


After lunch we headed to the hotel to check in and hit up the pool.

So if it's not our furniture, I can stand on it, right?

So mischievous

Chillen on the King Size bed...probably ordering pay-per-view...



I must say I think swimming in the pool was Aidan's favorite part of the trip.  We all went swimming before heading out to dinner, and then he and Ryan went again later that night when we got home ( I was NOT putting on a cold, wet bathing suit to join them!)  He screamed his face off when we finally had to take him out. We also let him dip his little piggies in the hot tub sitting in the edge with Mama (who can't go in being preggers) for just a minute, and he thought that was great too!

C'mon Dad, the pool's this way




We got up on sunday and headed to the Cocoa Diner for some breakkfast, and Aidan was not very cooperative so instad of heading over to Chocolate World which was our plan, we headed home.

It's good to be home and relaxing and Mr. Aidan sure has some sleep to catch up on seeing as he and Daddy were in the pool until 10:30 pm last night!!
