animals and chocolate...

Eden had a field trip to Hershey, PA--which is only about 40 minutes from here. Daddy took the day off work to join Eden and her 2nd grade class to Zoo America and Hershey's Chocolate World. Eden was so happy to have her daddy come along! They spent the morning at Zoo America...a zoo that only has animals that can be found in America. This was a special field trip because she just finished her biggest school project to-date called the "Creature Feature". Each student had to make a book of at least 5 different animals, including pictures and interesting facts, cover and title page, book list and Bible verse. I had so much fun helping Eden with this project. She is very creative, so she enjoyed every bit of it too.
After the zoo, they headed over to Hershey's Chocolate World for lunch and a tour to see "how they make the chocolate". They also got to help out at "Kiss Works" (Hershey Kiss factory) before coming back home. Eden was very excited to tell me all about it and show me the pictures that she took...many, many pictures.
