Animals in Yellowstone!
Wisconsin Dells Mt. Olympus
Jadelyn here, miss you all? We went to Wisconsin Dells and it was amazing because we went to an RV park and they gave us $200.00 worth of tickets for
staying at their RV site WOW I know! My sister will tell you about a few of the rides, I am
talking about the Apollo Swing, It is this swing that goes really high and you
go pack and forth really fast! I loved it, the ride videos you when you ride it and it is hilarious!
Kylie’s face is soooooo soooooo scared we will try and put it
on you tube when we get home! The water
slides
were amazing as
well! My favorite was the free fall we did with out dad! You go super high and I had to let the cable release and then we free fell for 3 seconds and then swung back and forth over the wave pool. It was the best ever!! This amusement park / water park was from something in your dreams, we kept asking ourselves if we were dreaming :-) Our next stop is South Dakota to see Mount Rushmore and Crazy Horse.....
..... Ta Ta Jadelyn

amusement parks and we went to this one campground which gave you four FREE tickets to the biggest best park called Mt.Olympus and there were 8 roller coasters, 28 water slides, an indoor theme park, a water
park with water slides which where amazing! I loved them and an
indoor water park too and we where still amazed that it was FREE! Me and my sis
were having the time of our lives! We went on a roller coaster FOUR times and
there is a drop that is 160 feet and the coaster goes under the parking lot back out and then back under the parking lot again....... it was so fun! We also went on

Canada, Niagra Falls, Notre Dame
YO YO YO :o this is
Kylie here we have been through so many amazing sites these past few days! One of the sites was....... we went to South Bend to see Notre Dame it was so RAD.!. We also went to Canada or shaka la moose which I will talk about later. Well back to Notre Dame as
you know I would not know a lot about them and I thought in football we did not like them be
cause UCLA was a rival but then I heard USC ;( (sad fa
ce) was a rival so I was :)(happy) sor
ry Papa but you kn
ow I love UCLA! Also my friend Kevin's aunt is the head softball coach at Notre Dame and we saw her picture on the wall inside the sports building it was awesome! We want to watch this movie called Rudy now but we can’t find it anywhere. At Notre Dame we toured the campus and watched a cool video about it's history. We also went to the stadium, t
he library and the church. The church is beautiful and outside the church there is a grotto, where people come to pray and light can
dles. We did watch this VERY sad movie called The Great Gatsbi the main charter got shot and this other girl got hit by a car then well it was just way to much Drama!!!! We wat
ched it because it was filmed at the mansions that we saw in Rhode Island, so that part was cool :0) Now like I said we went to Canada it was so cool my sis will talk a little more but I am talking about crossing the border we had to go through this thing which asked us questions and stuff he even had a french accent! He even asked us if we had any WEAPONS! I know scary. My sis will talk about Niagra Falls, Well gotta go Bye-Bye!
Hey Hey Hey this is Jadelyn talking. In the last few days we have gone through a few states
and even a another country. I will be talking about Niagra Falls in Canada. I know cool Canada. In Canada
we stayed @ a KOA. Well anyways we went 2 Niagra Falls the next day. When we got there we did not know what 2 expect. But when we saw it we were like WOW cool! The first thing we did was go to the info center and they told us that the best tour is the maid of the mist tour. It is where you go really close 2 the falls in a big boat and get super wet. So we decided to go on that one. When we got on the boat we got on the railing which is the best spot it was SUPER awesome. So when it started I thought we where not going to get wet. BUT I was sooooo wrong, when we got to the falls we got soaked. Like we just got out of the bath or some thing. We got so close that we thought we would go under and trust me we almost did. But we were wearing ponchos they let you borrow them. W
ell after the ride we took pictures and every thing it was so much fun and cool. We left with many cool and awesome memories about the huge amazing Niagra Falls. In South Bend we also went to the College Football Hall of Fame. It was totally awesome! They had a great museum and different rooms about college football. They had a rivalry room which had UCLA vs. USC and the biggest rivalry is Michigan and Ohio. We are all ready and excited for college football this fall. Bye for now.....JADELYN

le. We went to a
real live Broadway SHOW called Shrek the Musical it was so FUNNY my favorite character was Pinnochio and then there was a short guy named Lord Farcwaw it was so hilarious because his legs were all small and then there were like the fairy creatures and stuff! Before the show we almost saw Obama but he went away like in a helicopter, he was in NY for something!:( My moms good friend from childhood Tom Bell is a Lt. Cr. in the US Army and he works in the hospital at Westpoint, so he and his family gave us an awesome tour and lunch it was so great! We got to see the Cadets marching and the point where the US Army was able to beat the British during the American Revolution. I saw actual canons that were captured from the British. I got their daughter Alexa w
ho is 13 e-mail so we can chat and stuff we also made a Stardoll named acobjef-kzef I know funny!;0 Also their sons are cool too they have a basement with cool musical instruments, Gabriel showed me a cool website to learn to play songs on my guitar. Then like in Washington DC we went on a me

One day we rented bikes and rode them across Central Park and saw the Friends fountain and Tavern on the Green restaurant, it was amazing:):):) Last but not least we went to Canal street OMG it was coco there the illegal stuff they were selling...... fake stuff like Gucci and Prada! On our way to Boston we went to Yale...... one of the best schools in the world! I got a very cute hat and my sis

YO YO YO YO YO this is Jadelyn talking. This blog is all about The Big Apple NYC. It was so much fun, there were lights every where. In Time Square @ about 11:00P.M. it is still light out from all the lights. It was awesome. I loved New York sosososososososososo MUCH it is just my place. But do not worry I like CA so I will not move.There is so much shopping I LOVED it. We stayed @ a RV park in Croton on Hudson it is called that because the city is Croton and the river is the Hudson and U are right on it. We took the train into the city. In the Grand Central Station they were filming the movie Step Up 3..... we saw them doing a kissing scene it was gross
. In Time Square there is a 3 story Toys R Us the biggest in the world it has a Ferris Wheel inside the store WOW! My sister and I got Robots at the Robot Galaxy in Toys R Us....they are only in New York, it is like Build a Bear, you create your own robot then it gets programed to say your name and you can play on the computer with it. Mine is named Bob and Kylie’s is RoBro. The store also had a full size Barbie Dream House. Shrek the Musical was ama
zing and my favorite characters were the same as my sis, it was the best musical ever and I got awesome Shrek ears I was so thankful to my great parents for taking me to a REAL BROADWAY show I left with a huge smile and great memories! I had a great time at the Bell’s house at Westpoint, Alexa is very nice and we had fun on the computer. My mom is now friends with Alexa’s mom on Faceboook :-) The NY pizza was really really good we had more than once!

Amish Country/Philadelphia
Joy here, My favorite so far is the Amish Country, we stayed in an RV resort in New Holland just outside Intercourse, PA. It is amazingly beautiful. We saw many hors
e and buggies pulling the Amish through town. The homemade baked goods are wonderful. We learned a lot about the Amish culture and enjoyed all the little antique and quilt shops. The girls will tell you the rest :-)
Howdie, it is Kylie here I am going to talk about the Amish Country! It was amazing and cool I want to
live their when I am older! We went to a tour on a horse and buggy and the Amish people wear clothes like back in the old days, like homemade dresses with apron
s and the men wear suspenders. The married men have beards but no m
ustaches. They don’t believe in electricity they have big farms and raise cows, sheep and horses I even saw a bull! One day we went to a Dairy F
arm we saw them milk th
e cows it was so cool th
ey did not use there hands don’t worry . We also saw baby cows,a cat and a dog well a
bulldog it was so CUTE her name was Samatha! The dairy farm had homemade ice cream and we bought the milk and it was the freshest and best milk I have ever had. We had homemade pie, whoppie pies and rootbeeer and all that! It was so AWESOME! My sister will now talk about
Phili!
Yo yo this Jadelyn talkin about Phili. It has been a lot of fun and historical. We saw the great Liberty Bell. You can see it
in the picture. We then went to Independence Hall where they wrote, adopted and signed the Constitution of the United States. I was unable to see it all because I had a little bug (threw up the night before) so I was a little weak. Once we had a big lunch I got my energy back. We then went on a double decker bus we saw where Rocky ran up the stairs in the movie.....so cool! Aunt Colleen told us the great places to eat so we ate at Dante and Luigis Italian restaurant. Yummy!! We also had cheese steaks on South Street. We meet a friend named Nikki at our campsite, she is a lot of fun. We went swimming, caught some guppies with a net and played in
the arcade. On our last day we went on a tube ride down the Brandywine river it was awesome! It took 2 hours and it was fantastic and relaxing. Bye for now and it might be a while until our next post because the campground in New York does not have Wi-Fi :( Love to all !

DC part 2 / Gettysberg
Hey people, this is Jadelyn talking. I will talk all about the last few days in Washington D.C. The last few days where the more
depressing days. That is because
in the last few days we have gone to war
memorials and depressing museum
s like the Holocaust museum. In the Holocaust museum we saw pictures, models, and artifacts from the Holocaust. As y
ou can imagine it was very intense and sa
d for kids like Kylie and I. But to make it worse we w
ent to the Civil War, Vietnam War, and
the Korean War memorials. We also went to
the Arlington Cemetery. This is where President Kennedy and his family are buried. We saw his family plot and there is a flame that never goes out.
The best part of the cemetery is the Tomb of the
Unknown Soldier. There is a guard that marches 21 steps back and fourth guarding the tomb. We got to see the changing of the guard which happens every 30 minutes. It was very impressive! The guard had to yell at 2 different ladies who where not standing during the ceremony. To show respect he asked that everyone stood. Again we walked many miles and the final day we went to the Natu
ral History Museum. We also saw the I
MAX movie Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian. It was great especially because we were there in Washington and had just seen so many of the things that are in the movie :) My favorite part of the museum was the fossils of the dinosaurs and sea animals, I did not like se
eing the present day animals stuffed I would rather see them in the wild or at
a zoo alive! Oh I almost forgot to tell you about the awesome shopping in Georgetown, it was like the best stores ever! Kylie and I got super cute book bags from one of my favorite stores...... JUICY!!!!
Hee Hee it is Kylie ! Today we just left the battlefield of the Civil War Gettysberg, Pennsylvania. We did an awesome tour of the battlefield and all over Gettysberg and we learned a lot about
the Civil War and about dif
ferent Generals and the 3 days of fig
hting between the Union and the Confederates and stuff like that. You can see that Gettysberg has a lot of history. It happened to b
e biker week in Gettysberg so there were m
otorcycles and people with long hair, weird beards and mustaches (like my dads) and leather clothes everywhere. They will have a parade on Sat. that will have 35,000 + bikers in the parade. We also went on a ghost tour this one was different from the one in Savannah. This time we went on a very scary one it was freaking me OUT! We went through the house where the only civilian was shot and killed during the fight at Gettysberg her name is Jennie
Wade and the house she died in was also on the TV show Americas Most Haunted. We think we got a ghost orb in our picture. We also went to a Cyclorama of the war and saw a movie! We also went to a very historical museum all about the war, slaves and Abe Lincoln we heard the famous speech by Lincoln at Gettysberg! We a
re now headed toward the Amish country in Lancaster. Hip hip cherry oh ~ Kylie
