Last weekend, we got to take our first family field trip in a long time. We rented a car so we could all go.
I wouldn’t mind living on Chocolate Avenue!

We had a great time! We took the free tour and found out how they make chocolate for Hershey’s chocolate. We read some things about Milton S. Hershey and were impressed with his philanthropy. He built a town for his employees and gave them public transportation, libraries, schools, a museum, a theater, a stadium and a hospital.
The town of Hershey is known as “The Sweetest Place on Earth”. We certainly had a sweet time there!
We brought home loads of chocolate and enjoyed it to the last bite. With all the chocolate lovers in this family, it didn’t last long. They try to act like I’m the only chocoholic, but I didn’t really eat that much of it. Honest!
"Oh that God would give every mother a vision of the glory and splendor of the work that is given to her when a babe is placed in her bosom to be nursed and trained! Could she have but one glimpse in to the future of that life as it reaches on into eternity; could she look into its soul to see its possibilities; could she be made to understand her own personal responsibility for the training of this child, for the development of its life, and for its destiny,--she would see that in all God's world there is no other work so noble and so worthy of her best powers, and she would commit to no other's hands the sacred and holy trust given to her." -JR Miller
