Choclavania

Kjersti renamed the State of Pennsylvania to Choclavania when she was about 4 years old. The name stuck. Here we are at the Choclavania state capitol of Hershey.

Among our other stops in Choclavania, we paid a visit to Gettysburg.

The new museum is really amazing. Cody and Heidi enjoyed it the most and the kids just endured it.

Abraham Lincoln: Four score and seven years ago... ELI, DON'T YOU DARE LICK MY FACE! KJERSTI, STOP WITH BUNNY EARS! I thought the Civil War was bad, but this is too much!

Playing Around

Eli: I think one of the stuffed animals just pinched my bum!

Eli: Dad, it's like 10 degrees outside. My face is frozen into a smile. Did you happen to notice that we're the only people here on the playground today? The parking lot is totally empty. I think that is a sign.

Eve: Dad, I thought they did away with the public stockade back in the 1600's. What did I do to end up in this mess?

Eli: Spiderman stands to learn a thing or two from this display of brilliance on the monkey bars!

Eve: Aren't I too young to be behind bars? What's with the punishment theme?

Eli: I believe I can fly!
