Ben Franklin's burial sight.
This is Ben Franklin's Glass Armonica. He thought it was amazing that someone could wet their fingers and play music on the top of a glass (like in Mrs. Congeniality) so he turned it into an instrument. The guy playing just knew the basics but it would be amazing to hear someone play it with chords and harmony. It's just a long piece of glass in the shape of a cone that is continually turning. You just wet your fingers and place them on the glass to get the notes. Below is a brief explanation by the guy playing.
Monday we headed to Hershey Park. We did one kiddie ride then decided it was way to hot for that and spent the rest of the day at the water park. It is very much geared towards family's so they have a lot of things for little kids. It took Cordon about an hour to warm up to this whole new experience but afterwords he had a blast. I think he dragged us to the slides about 10 times each. He couldn't get enough.
He isn't a fan of having water in his face so we would hold him up right at the very end to try and avoid a huge splash. He would laugh the whole way down until just before the end then he would scrunch his face to prepare for the splash. It was pretty funny to watch.
It took some coaxing but he finally was brave enough to run through these fountains. He was more entertained by just hitting them.
Chris decided to take him down one of the bigger slides. We didn't realize the splash would be so big.
Cordon was not amused. Don't you love it when people are clueless and walk in front of you just before you take a picture. Thanks buddy.
