Gloria started work three weeks ago at the local Army Depot and she wanted to take another trip before she started on her job on second shift. It was also the weekend of the 25th, which is the adoption anniversary and she likes to celebrate that as well. I had seen that a friend was staying at the Hershey Lodge and they had a water park so I showed it to Gloria. She made the reservation and we asked Kartikey to go with us again. This was better because it has a pool and was in the same building as the hotel so no driving into swim. Which meant as soon as we arrived, we went to the pool. So I took the boys through the hotel maze to the pool. I was rushing while packing and did not pack pool appropriate shoes for me so I had to wear my regular shoes (nice look with my pool skirt) all weekend!
As usual the pool water was freezing for me but the boys thought it was just right. My little fish was happy to be in his element.
And with one of his besties.
It was a very nice pool area and they had a lot of fun on the dolphins. We stayed until closing at 10 PM. We missed a door on the way back and had to figure out how to get back to our room! They showered first and jammied up while I showered. We found something on TV to watch and around 11 they were both asleep.
We were not going to pay the really high prices for breakfast at the hotel so we drive to the Cocoa Diner which was about five minutes away. The boys loved climbing on the snow piles, Baylor more than Kartikey. It is just frozen water and Baylor's soul is drawn to water like a moth to a flame.
Yummy carb loaded breakfast for a full day of swimming. We had to go to the outlets to buy Baylor underpants because even though he had them on his packing list, he forgot to pack them!
Gloria came out to the pool for a few hours and while she spent most of the time in the hot tub or sitting in the bar area, she did get in with the boys for a bit.
The boys really loved the Reese's Walk which I tried once and only made it to the second float. The skinny and fast kids could run it without holding the ropes. Most of the time the boys hopped it on their knees or walked it holding the ropes.
We ate lunch in the pool area and when it was supper time I took the boys out for Indian food at a restaurant. Gloria was not feeling well so she stayed in the room sleeping. We had a nice meal together and the staff was super nice. They had mango lassies, spicy samosas, naan, and rice.
We did go back to the pool after dinner but they only made it until 8:30 and were tired. We showered and changed again and settled down for the evening in our room. It did not take long for them to fall asleep and in the morning we got ready to go home. We stopped in Hummelstown for breakfast at a nice diner Gloria and I went to many years ago.
They had pretty much the same thing as yesterday: Kartikey ate pancakes, Baylor had a Belgian waffle and they split a fruit cup. They are silly and a I love to hear them giggle and play. It was a nice little get away, about 40 minutes from home so the return trip was nice. The dog kids were at the clubhouse until Monday after work so it was quiet without them but nice in a way too.
