ikslo Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 In all my years living in PA near Hershey, I only went one night during Christmas? Halloween? Can’t remember. I think maybe it was Christmas Candylane, but I’m not sure. With a kid allergic to nuts, it just was t a thing for us. Now I’m sad I didn’t go more when there. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 (edited) We’re at the Kid’s Jam. Ds14 didn’t want to come but we out-voted him. I wish I’d brought my violin - there are other grown-ups playing. There is something about playing this old time music that is good for the soul.

Jean in Newcastle Posted July 1, 2019 Share Posted July 1, 2019 I was taking a bunch of broken down boxes to the recycle bin, opened the door to the house and a ball came bouncing out the door. And a puppy came bouncing out after it. She beelined it for her bff's house and she was quite stubborn about coming home again. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Critterfixer Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 A long day of revediting--my husband's new word for my odd combined process of editing and revising at the same time. I did 5,100 words, completed a chapter, and am resting on the couch and playing with my other WIP because I've still got some words in me. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Favorite Rides at Hershey: The Comet -- If the line was short, my sister and I would ride this over and over and over. I think our record was 11 times in a row! The Coal Cracker -- I don't think I ever went to Hershey without riding this at least once. The Music Express -- I think this is a slightly different ride than it used to be. It used to be called the Himalaya. The Pirate -- Sit in the middle of the ship if you don't like heights. Sit on the very end row if you don't like your stomach. 😉 The sooperdooperLooper -- I think this was one of the very first coasters to take you upside down. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, nobody in my family does big roller coasters. Dd likes smaller roller coasters but none of us do the biggies. I figure that will make it easier to do the things we do like since the longest lines tend to be for the big coasters. I expect we'll hit a few rides, then the water park, then back to rides. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrissiK Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 Good Morning!!!! COFFEE!!!!!~D Tuesday!!!! sigh!!! I am in the summer doldrums. And I am a little blue because I have hardly any kids on my roster for work. Of course, that will change, I was assured, but.... still. I was kind of hoping people would be clamoring to get on my roster. Beating each other up. Forming a waiting list. That kind of thing. Everyone on FB is showing their summer travel photos. Three different people I know are in Europe this summer. Eating in quaint little cafes in Venice, exploring the Tuscan countryside. It’s kind of funny, one friend started in England, one in The Netherlands, I can’t remember where the other started, but they are all now posting pictures of Italy. And someone else is in New York City with his family. All right, I need to stop being a baby!!

Susan in TN Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Krissi, just wait until word gets out in a semester or two - they'll be beating down the door like crazy. And who is nuts enough to go to Europe at this time of year? EVERYONE is on vacation and it's crowded and hot and you miss all the quaint small-town festivals. The Viehschied/Almabtriebe don't even start until September. And NYC in July? Don't even get me started. It's a madhouse. A madhouse, I tell ya!

Seriously, Krissi, just give it a little bit. Once parents realize that you've actually homeschooled, I suspect that you will be immensely popular. We started our homeschooling through a California charter. The teachers, for the most part, were either public school teachers looking for less work or private school teachers looking for a pension. (We went with the latter. 🙂 ) 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My first year doing classes 90% of my registrations came the first week of classes. This coming fall is my second year, lots of people know about my classes now and I have about 25% registration so far. 1 hour ago, Jean in Newcastle said: That is one big pond! How do you differentiate between a pond and a lake? (Seriously asking.) My understanding is that the difference is movement and how they are fed. Lakes are fed by rivers and constantly refreshed, so the water often has a flow to it. Ponds are fed by smaller streams that may dry up at certain times of year, and the water tends to be still. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wheres Toto Posted July 2, 2019 Share Posted July 2, 2019 We went on the new Reeces Cupfusion ride, which had an hour and a half wait this morning. Then the lazy river, one of the water areas, dd and dh went on the Trailblazer roller coaster, we saw the seal/sea lion show. At that point, ds was very done with being at the park so we left. We're having dinner at the hotel then dd and I are going to head back and do more rides - the Kissing Tower, the Coal Cracker. She wants to do one of the dropping towers but I'm not sure I'm willing to do that, so we'll see. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He either starts at 4:30 am or starts at 2:30 pm (going into the wee hours). I guess I will know by whether he's still here when I wake up. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
