Dutch Wonderland

With our move just around the corner, we decided to take a break from home improvements and escape to Lancaster, Pennsylvania for a day out at Dutch Wonderland.  For those that don’t know, Dutch Wonderland is the Disneyland of Amish country – a small-scale amusement park that caters to young children.  Unlike other parks, most of the rides at Dutch Wonderland are designed for the under-five crowd and don’t have those annoying height and age restrictions.  As you can see from the photos below, the whole family had a wonderful time.  Henry got his face painted like Spider-Man, Vivian enjoyed chasing the baby ducks, and we all had fun riding the log plume, merry-go-round and leapin’ frogs (it’s more intense than it sounds). In the afternoon, we topped off our day with some cool treats at the Breyer’s ice cream parlor.  Not quite the Magic Kingdom, but they do have a (small) monorail and we were home in time for dinner.
