Mini Golf: Hole-in-One and Our Family Tradition

Mini Golf: Hole-in-One and Our Family Tradition

How many of you get together with your family on a regular basis and go out and play miniature golf? My family loves mini golf and we get together several times a year to go out and play. Back in late Fall we all got 

Visiting the National Aquarium in Baltimore

I love to travel and I’m pretty fortunate that my other job affords me the ability to travel up and down the east coast. On top of that…I’m passionate about visiting various zoos and aquariums. A few months ago my family had the opportunity to 

Family Fun at the Arcade

Arcade Games on Wildwood BoardwalkWow…my first “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post for 2016. Last year just flew by and here we are…in a brand new year! Welcome 2016.

One of the things I love about “Almost” Wordless Wednesday is that its a chance for all of you to get to know my family. I can show you small peeks at some of the things we like to do and places we like to visit. It’s a little window into Shelly’s world.

Today’s photo is one that I took in late summer of last year while the family was down in Wildwood. We love visiting our beach house and try to do it several times a year. Often times we take our little grand daughter along with us now that she’s older and doesn’t need a lot of supervision.

On one particular HOT afternoon we decided to spend some time at one of the arcades on the boardwalk in Wildwood. My family loves to get together and challenge one another to a few of the classic style arcade games.

The photo I’m featuring today is of my husband and little grand daughter playing the classic air hockey game. She absolutely LOVES playing air hockey because we have one in our own home in our game room. She’s starting to get really good at it and she’s only 6 1/2 years old.

Does your family love to go out and play some of the classic arcade games? Did you play these types of games when you were younger? Got any favorite arcade style games that you love to play? Personally, I love pinball!

If you’ve been following this blog for the past few months, you will already know that I became a grandmother again back in September 2015. My second grandchild is a little boy that we call Prince Jax and he’s a pure blessing in our lives. 

Hershey Sweet Lights 2015

Hershey Sweet Lights 2015

Hershey Sweet LightsI think most of the families that I know have some type of holiday family tradition or at least several traditions that they honor throughout the holiday season. My family is no exception. We have lot’s of traditions and every year we look forward to doing them.

Hershey Sweet Lights

For the 4th year in a row my family loaded up in our cars and we all headed down to Hershey Sweet Lights in Hershey Pennsylvania. If you’ve never been there…it’s a really fun family-friendly holiday activity and people all over the middle Atlantic states come to see the holiday lights!

Hershey Sweet Lights

Admission is only $20.00 per car and it takes about 35 to 45 minutes to drive through all of the light displays. Of course…you can go through it quicker but we take our time so that we can really enjoy it.

Hershey Sweet Lights

At the admission gate they will advise you to turn your radio on to a certain channel and you can listen to Christmas music as you drive through. You never get out of your vehicle so you can stay toasty warm or take some throw blankets along and wind those windows down to really soak it all in.

All four of the photos that I’m featuring in my “Almost” Wordless Wednesday post were taken back on December 9th, 2015 when my family took our annual tour through Hershey Sweet Lights! We love visiting it every year and it has become one of the kid’s favorite holiday activities! Fun!!!
