NanceXToo Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) going to the Greek Games 2012 Crazy Olympics Field Day? http://www.trussell.info/tlc_004.htm It looks really cool. It's in Carlisle. And what about any of the homeschool days at Hershey Park during the month of May, which is their homeschool month? Ticket prices are greatly reduced that month! Instead of $56.95, adult admission is only $29.50! (We're probably going on "science day"). http://www.hersheypark.com/groups/schools.php Just wondering if anyone else from here is planning on attending any of those events. :) Edited March 10, 2012 by NanceXToo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 The park sounds doable for us. I know Doodle would love it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NanceXToo Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 (edited) The park sounds doable for us. I know Doodle would love it. It's $26.50 for age 3-8, $29.50 for 9 and up. You should check out their website, I plan to go on science day, but they also have math day, physics day, entertainment day, ed-zoo-cation day, marketing day.... let me know if you end up going on science day. :) I actually thought entertainment day sounded really neat, too, and would have strongly considered that, but I had field trips the day before and after that date (there's Hand On History Day at the Daniel Boone Homestead, and an Alpaca Farm tour with my homeschool group) and it just would have been way too much even for me to do three kind of long/far field trips three days in a row like that. lol. ETA: I edited my original post to include the website with the different descriptions. Edited March 10, 2012 by NanceXToo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 I might be doing Hershey Park. I would love to do the greek olympics but the volunteering requirement lets us out. It would take about 3 hours to get to Carlisle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanceXToo Posted March 10, 2012 Author Share Posted March 10, 2012 grr i wish it was closer to our side of pa!! lol! have fun guys! :D Aw, sorry. PA's pretty big! I got one of those "Kids Love PA" books and there are so many cool things in it but a lot of the ones I mapquest thinking, "That sounds great!," I'm like oh man that's 2, 3 hours away. I might be doing Hershey Park. I would love to do the greek olympics but the volunteering requirement lets us out. It would take about 3 hours to get to Carlisle. I just signed up to "help clean up after" as it seemed the easiest thing to volunteer for! Carlisle is a hike for you though! It's about an hour and a half drive for me! We're looking at taking a mini vacation sometime in April or May. Maybe I'll talk to dh about Hershey. Have you ever been? It's fairly close to Lancaster too, there would be plenty for you guys to do, especially if you've never been to that area! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happypamama Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We actually already have plans for both of the dates for the field day, so we can't make it, but if you're heading down this way for the field day, be sure to check out the Greek Festival in Camp Hill, which is very close to Carlisle -- pagreekfest.org. Admission is free, and food has always been reasonable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vettechmomof2 Posted March 10, 2012 Share Posted March 10, 2012 We are too far for the fun outings there but enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admission is free, and food has always been reasonable. I think (no, I know) I will be too exhausted lol. The day before is when I plan on going to Hershey Park for the day. The day of, I am probably leaving my house at 6:30 in the morning to get to field day by around 8 (registration starts at 8, pics at 8:45, games at 9, and even though I can prob get there a bit after 8, I want to leave a little extra time for getting lost, traffic, parking, etc). Field day goes until 3 PM, I volunteered to stay and help clean up afterward, we'll have an hour and a half drive to look forward to on the way home... And the following morning is my homeschool group's annual picnic and presentation day and I have to put stuff together for that lol. It's going to be a crazy few days! We are too far for the fun outings there but enjoy! Aw, I was hoping to meet up with a few of you guys. It would have been cool! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JessReplanted Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 We are also on the far side of PA. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nertsmommy Posted March 19, 2012 Share Posted March 19, 2012 We're too far for pretty much anything. :confused: Hershey is just about 4 hrs away and Carlisle is 3 1/2 hrs. I haven't even found any homeschool groups close.:crying: I never realized how big PA is until I started trying to plan trips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
