The boys got to join the factory line and make some Hershey kisses. They have a great museum set up at the Hershey World, showing how chocolate is made and processed and also the history of The Hershey Company. The boys had a great time.
After Hershey, it was off to Gettysburg. Abe Lincoln was a good man/leader and my kids enjoyed learning about the Civil War, what happened and why it happened.
They each chose their weapons. We watched a reenactment video in the museum, which was put together very well. We then headed out on the Gettysburg self-guided tour, which is the best way to see the sites of Gettysburg with kids.
Strike a pose.
This is the site of the famous Pickett's charge.
This is the place where the battle of Devil's Den took place. Hudson and Porter found a great hideout in the rocks and you can see why the North won having the higher ground and these large boulders for protection.
Hudson, showing some artillery of his own:)
Gettysburg cemetery, the site of where Lincoln delivered his famous Gettysburg Address.

Does the town of Hershey really smell like chocolate like rumors say?
